Who Fell Asleep Lyrics - Romance Is Boring - Los Campesinos!

She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me 

At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme 

We turned our backs to the church, with our trousers around our knees 

While screaming the scriptures, she screamed I was her favorite heresy 

In a note I read, "If you should go blind and deaf 

I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily. 

I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on yr chest 

All of the same conversations we have now in bed" 

I don't mean to be selfish, but I think I'd sooner just be dead 

Behind the tennis court alongside the river, not a single live flower to see 

This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me 

But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her God breathe on her shoulder 

It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yrs 

She said she wanted a sea burial, not grass and hypodermics to her hips 

I prune the ivy from yr grandmother's tomb 

More tender and careful than the superstitious ripped you from yr mothers womb 

In a note I wrote, "I think too much about the end 

But being around it made me feel like I'm coping now. 

When I view the cemetery, I don't see headstones 

I see rows of engraved middle teeth, hungry, waiting for me 

And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief" 

Behind the tennis court alongside the river, paper flowers, still beautiful thing 

This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me 

But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her God breathe on her shoulder 

It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yrs
