[Chorus]
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me, you're gonna be bored
If you're up chimney, sweep under rubble covers
If you keep counting sheep and being adored

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
I need a breath, a wind so pure
To dry up the mud over me
To be reborn, not born again

Erase my regret from the start
Shot the model
Flaking temporary skin, you're no burden
Such reduction
Such seductive silent wine, hop scotch trigger

[Chorus]

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me, you're gonna be
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me
