Neko Case - Vengeance Is Sleeping Lyrics
I didn't know what a brute I was
I dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
Vengeance built me hastily
And I drag the clanging notion I was nobody, nobody
Nobody
All I had was my invention
And my love it fitted on you
Oh, look what thoughts can do
What thoughts can do
If you're not by now dead and buried
You're most certifiably married
Oh, married
I'm sure you're sleeping sound
With a mistress of the hours
Oh, easy loves
You keep lap pets
Denied them you are powerless
Whatever keeps you sleeping through the night
I'm not the man you thought I was
My love has never lived indoors
I had to drag it home by force
Hired hounds at both my wrists
Damp and bruised by stranger's kisses on my lips
But you're the one that I still miss
You're the one that I still miss
And the truth is that it comes as no surprise
I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am

Neko Case Vengeance Is Sleeping Comments
Until the end of my death I will play this song in the background of mind till the notion makes me fulfill all dreams
My God, she's such an incredibly imaginative lyricist!!
It is my humble opinion that we would be more musically & artistically impoverished if uniquely creative voices such as Neko Case were not brought out for all of us to experience and enjoy.
uvp5000 back in 2005 when Pandora of all things introduced me to her and Over the Rhine, coincidentally, I cannot imagine how my college years would have turned out without them.
What a tragically moving song
