She says, "I'm dying every day" "Would you save me?" "Would you pick me up and out of this pain?" She says, "Darling, I can't recall" "Why my chest insists to rise and fall" As he's watching her eyelids close In the TV glow he can't helping thinking that She's a tightrope walker And he's the streets below So put your arms down, honey This ain't no execution I was just watching you sleep So put that crown down, sugar This ain't no crucifiction I was just watching you sleep I was just watching you She says, "I'm praying every day" "But no one hears me" "No one gives a fuck about me and my pain" She says, "Darling I can't recall" "Why my heart wants to beat at all" And as he's watching her eyelids close In the TV glow he can't helping thinking that She's a tightrope walker And he's the streets below So put your arms down, honey This ain't no execution I was just watching you sleep So put that crown down, sugar This ain't no crucifiction I was just watching you I was just watching you sleep I was just watching you sleep I was just watching you wave me a goodbye So put your arms down, honey This ain't no execution I was just watching you sleep So put that crown down, sugar This ain't no crucifiction I was just watching you So put your arms down, honey This ain't no execution I was just watching you So put that crown down, sugar This ain't no crucifiction I was just watching you sleep I was just watching you
