Belly lyrics - "Now They'll Sleep"

Now They'll Sleep

written by Thomas Gorman & Tanya Donelly

.

Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Ooh

Now I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be
But not the dog I was

Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie

Color my fast fading heart
People laugh at anything
and things just fall apart

Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes

Now they'll sleep on lies

Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Ooh

Now eyes burn circles in the dark
And when the mirror talks to me
I listen with my heart

Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes

Now they'll sleep all right

Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Mm mm
Mm mm, Ooh

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes

You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes

One common cry
(do do do do)
One common cry
(do do do do)
One common cry
(do do do do)
One common cry
(do do do do oh-ooo)
