lyrics

Oh, my dear,
Is it your first time?
Beginner's luck?
Or have I fallen off my game?

Late last night,
We closed the bar down,
You call a cab or stay,
I swear it's all the same,

Blackout arranged!

Everything you know,
Is locked inside a dream,
There's a million little faces,
Figuring,
That the cops will have to call,
Another kind of the police,
To save you,
From everything you've seen,
You're running up the score,
And I'm stealing all the sheets,
And in thirty minutes time,
You'll be shivering,
As hard as you may try,
You'll still be waking up with me,
And I wonder,
How long can you sleep?

Oh, my dear,
Is this a pastime?
If not to wake,
Instead to sleep the day away,

Late last night,
We were a gold-mine,
I was all out of luck,
Till I spilled your perfect face,

Blackout arranged!

Everything you know,
Is locked inside a dream,
There's a million little faces,
Figuring,
That the cops will have to call,
Another kind of the police,
To save you,
From everything you've seen,
You're trying really hard,
And I'm stealing all the sheets,
And in thirty minutes time,
You'll be shivering,
As hard as you may try,
You'll still be waking up with me,
And I wonder,
How long can you sleep?

Oh, my dear,
Is this the worst time?
A notch in the bed-frame?
Or a move in the head-game?
All for a place to lay.
