Sleeper 1972 Lyrics

by Manchester Orchestra

When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e39592-manchester_orchestra~sleeper_1972_lyrics.html ]
My mother lies alone on her back at night.
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.

When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.

The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.

I still see you inside of this God-awful house
You move awfully quiet now
And I still feel you everywhere
You told me this has always been worth living,
But what's really worth living anymore?
