Lyrics
Step into the antiseptic light
Yellow line peeling from the floor
Sick feeling in my stomach
As I see your name upon the door
I clear away the morning breakfast
That sits uneaten by the bed
As the morning seeps in
You sleep the sleep of the dead
Ten years we walked together
Every evening brought you to my bed
Now I sleepwalk through the broken days
While you sleep the sleep of the dead
The doc he says you're gone
Your folks they don't believe it
But there's plenty of pain to go around
For those who are left to receive it
Empty streets to get back home
Up the stairs, and put the kid to bed
Another broken day
And I sleep the sleep of the dead
