Sleep With One Eye Open Wide
[Intro] [Harp glissando fading into heavy bass feedback] (Ooh, ahh) [Verse 1] White dress on the floor Lock the heavy door Lights are burning low Nowhere left to go I hear the thunder roll Deep inside my soul It calls my name again Where the nightmare ends [Pre-Chorus] Open up your eyes (Open up your eyes) See the beast arise (See the beast arise) Honey, put your makeup on Before the light is gone [Chorus] Sleep with one eye open wide Nowhere left for you to hide It is a heavy love Sent from the dark above Swing swaying in the dark Teeth sinking in the mark Off to never-never land Take my cold and heavy hand [Verse 2] Playing games of chance In a violent trance Velvet on the skin Let the war begin Silence screams so loud Wrapped inside a cloud Drink the poison wine Darling, you are mine [Bridge] (Hush little baby, don't say a word) The loudest noise you ever heard (And never mind that noise you heard) Is just the beating of your heart Tearing us apart [Guitar Solo] [Heavy distortion mixed with orchestral strings] [Chorus] Sleep with one eye open wide Nowhere left for you to hide It is a heavy love Sent from the dark above Swing swaying in the dark Teeth sinking in the mark Off to never-never land Take my cold and heavy hand [Outro] We are off to never land (Ooh, ahh) Just a video game we planned (Exit light) (Enter night) Say goodbye [End]
