Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
That slime looks so good on your face
One for charm, one for disgrace
c*nt

[Verse 1]
And in the back of the truck, can’t find the antidote
And all the passengers know it’s time to jump the boat
Your children will remember every word you say
Never doubt that you’re leading them astray

[Refrain]
But you’re welcome
You’re welcome
(But he cannot console ‘cause he swallowed it whole)

[Chorus]
The millions will cry
At the cut of his spiel
Paints his words red
And kissed with his seal

[Post-Chorus]
He thinks that it’s real, but he’s got it all wrong
[Verse 2]
You put the fun in dysfunction with a steely shoe
Too long a heaven to stretch on shorter skies of blue
If you could hold your head up and find the sense to say
Only then could laudation come your way

[Refrain]
But you’re welcome
You’re welcome
(But he cannot console ‘cause he swallowed it whole)

[Chorus]
The millions will cry
At the cut of his spiel
Paints his words red
And kissed with his seal

[Post-Chorus]
He thinks that it’s wrong, but he’s got it all made
Dealt it in spades
Forgot what I had said
No

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Pronounce me dead, longevity, I can still find a way
Find in pages easy, polish and make greasy, coins in my hand’s palm
Unload on him, it’s easy, wind up and let go, g-g-go, go, go
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Saints are informed, but I cannot appeal against this sentence
Saints are informed, but I cannot appeal against this sentence

[Instrumental Outro]
