SLEEPIN-G-ANGEL

(I) am here once more (anew)
Inside of you
(It's) so nice to be (in here)
But I can't stay for long

I float around in liquid hibernation
(in a hotel)
connected to the electricity board
(and drinking)

tjú, tjú
tjú, tjú

But the wait makes me (uneasy)
I kick (the fragility) away from me (and I shout)
I have to go (help)

tjú, tjú, tjú
tjú, tjú, tjú

tjú, tjú, tjú, tjú, tjú

I explode out and the peace is gone

(Bathed in new light
I cry and I cry, disconnected)
An unused brain is put on breasts and is fed by sleep
Sleep angels

tjú, tjú, tjú
tjú, tjú, tjú
tjú
