Do you eat sleep do you breathe me anymore? Do you sleep do you count sheep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you take plight on my tongue like lead? Do you fall gracefully into bed anymore? I saw you as you walked across my room You looked out the window, you looked at the moon And you sat on the corner of my bed and you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head Now I don't know and I don't care If I ever see you again I don't know and I don't care If I ever will be there Do you eat sleep do you breathe me anymore? Do you sleep do you keep me anymore? You kick my foot under the table I kick you back can't say that I'm able To stand for you or fall for you ever again Wish for a perfect setting Wishing that I am letting you Take me where you want me all over again You can't give yourself Absolutely to someone else Now I don't know and I don't care If I ever will see you again I don't know and I don't care If I ever will be there I saw you as you walked across my room You looked out the window, you looked at the moon And you sat on the corner of my bed And you smoked with the ghost in the back of my head Do you eat sleep do you breathe me anymore? Do you sleep do you count sheep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? I don't know (do you eat sleep do you breathe me anymore?) And I don't care (do you sleep do you count sheep anymore?) If I ever will be there (do you sleep anymore?) Will be there
