Restless, lying restless
On pile of wrinkled sheet
I wrestle time, while waiting here for you
So many nights I’ve stroked your sullen face
In a long-forgotten corner of this room

I’ve touched the sun
And I’ve fought the vision

Thoughts confuse me in my sleep
The earth still rolls beneath my feet
Built a house of cards
Then the devil caught me off my guard
Guilty mind so far from grace
Smell of perfume, touch of lace
Build a house of cards
Then the devil caught me off my guard

Home is where the knife is
And the bottle pulls me back to the floor
Where I always wait for you
Late in the morning I raise my aching head
In a long-forgotten corner of this room Milquetoast
