Sleep clouds disperse and settle on my bed 

Leave my eyes, but cling like cobwebs to my head

It's like a book I never read

All the dust inside my head



Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow 

Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me

Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul

Can keep away from me



Down the evening rain falls

Waltzing round my feet

Paints reflections of the houses on my street

Drawn out as the night draws in

By the sound of laughing

The smell of sin



Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow 

Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me

Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul

Can keep away from me



Smile again for me

As if you're going to say

Nothing could have done all this

Then gone away

I may have just saved my life

On a childish whim or a pretty rhyme



Can't be bought and you can keep tomorrow 

Can't be saved, there ain't no flies on me

Can't be caught, the plague that ate your soul

Can keep away from me (x2)
