Vengeance Is Sleeping

@ @

I didn't know what a brute I was

I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus

Vengeance built me hastily

And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody

Nobody

All I had was my invention

And my love it fitted on you

Oh, look what thoughts can do

What thoughts can do

If you're not by now dead and buried

You're most certifiably married

Oh, married

I'm sure you're sleeping sound

With a mistress of the hours

The hours that grind your life to dust

Oh, easy loves

You keep lap pets

Denied them you are powerless

Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night

I'm not the man you thought I was

My love has never lived indoors

I had to drag it home by force

Hired hounds at both my wrists

Damp and bruised by stranger's kisses on my lips

But you're the one that I still miss

You're the one that I still miss

And the truth is that it comes as no surprise

I'm not the man you think I am

I'm not the man you think I am
