[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
