How Do You Sleep? Songtext

The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine
So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
And tell you how they died

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

When all the fun was over
I put you on my shoulder
Took you home away from it all Shot down and claimed
Mounted and framed
Tastefully hung upon my wall
All my dreams your nightmares?
I hope they all come true
Get off your knees the party is over
I'm coming home to you

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock- knocking and banging at your door

How do you sleep
How do you last the night
And keep the dogs at bay
How do you feel when you close your eyes
And try and drift away
Does it feel any better now
Does it mean any more
When the angel of death comes
Knock knocking and banging at your door
at your door...
