lyrics

I believe one of my virtues
Is that I'm a stayer
Didn't mean to hurt you babe
You always knew I was a player
Cold wind blowing
Through me
This vibe is grim
Guess it's time to pack it all in
And let sleeping dogs lie.

We started star crossed and crazy
At the business end of a blunderbuss
Now we're just jaded
And there's a shadow hanging over us
The moon is a dagger
There's frost on the pane
The third act is over
We're circling the drain
And I can't hear nothing but this sad old refrain
Let sleeping dogs lie

Right under our noses
The devil laid waste
I trampled your roses
You spat in my face
And I remember the day
It all went to hell
In a hand basket
There's no looking back
I drink my regrets
Head on down the track
Let sleeping dogs lie.
