Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me
I would empty my pockets, times are lean you see
And they got us right where they want us
We're just cogs in the machinery
Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me
Oh, tonight we shall sleep the sleep of angels
With one hand tied, I can keep us safe from danger
And it ain't right to be bedding down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel
Oh the look on your face is just priceless
Oh Lord, what have I done to invite this?
Oh, the look of this place must be hopeless
I was hoping that you wouldn't have noticed
And where we end up
There ain't nobody, nobody, nobody knows it
We are like a part of the story
That just keeps going and going
Oh, tonight we shall sleep the sleep of angels
With one hand tied, I can keep us safe from danger
And it ain't right to be bedding down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel
Oh the road that lays before us
Is compromised and porous
How long will you ignore us
We are like babes lost in the forest
And the hope of your love will restore us
The hole that you left was enormous
We light signal fires and wave our arms
But nobody ever saw us
C'mon, wrap up your sorrows
In the blankets that we borrowed
And we'll march on like good soldiers
Into a world that's getting colder and colder
And near this time tomorrow
All our troubles will be over
C'mon wrap up your sorrows
And come closer
Tonight we shall sleep the sleep of angels
With one hand tied, I can keep us safe from danger
And it ain't right to be bedding down like strangers
For tonight you will sleep just like an angel
