Lorena Songtext
von Sleeper Agent

You heard about their wandering eyes
And all the clothes they′d shed and hide
With all the pain you hope never gets outgrown
'Cause you want me to sleep by your side
To keep her from running your life, uh-huh

And I believed in yesterday
When all the words were simply placed
And they still know I′m only as far as the telephone
If they want me to sleep by their side
To keep them from ruining their life, their life

So baby, tell me all your secrets and your lies
I'll tell you mine
'Cause lately I′ve been thinking we ain′t got the time
Playing nice
'Cause it′s a long, long, long way down
Ain't it?


And all the love we used to chase
Dreams of dragons far away
Now all the flocks have flown and I′m too scared to be outgrown
They want me to sleep by your side
To keep you from running at night, goodbye

So baby, tell me all your secrets and your lies
I'll tell you mine
′Cause lately I've been thinking we ain't got the time
Playing nice
′Cause it′s a long, long, long way down
And it's a god, god, goddamn shame
That we can′t stick around

And I believed in all those words about the west
And is it hard to think maybe I deserve the best?
But you got loaded and went off and lost your head
And now I'm lying here, tucked back in my bed
Where you want me to sleep on your lies
To keep me from living my life, my life


So baby, tell me all your secrets and your lies
I′ll tell you mine
'Cause lately I′ve been thinking we ain't got the time
Playing nice
So baby, tell me all your secrets and your lies
I'll tell you mine
′Cause lately I′ve been thinking we ain't got the time
Playing nice
′Cause it's a long, long, long way down
And it′s a god, god, goddamn shame
Yeah, it's a god, god, goddamn shame
You couldn′t stick around
