Sleeper 1972 Lyrics - I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child - Manchester Orchestra

When my dad died 

The worms ate out both his eyes 

His soul flew right up in the sky 

I cried myself to sleep 

My mother lies 

Alone on her back at night 

Adding up hours till her demise 

She counts herself to sleep 

When my sister finds 

My body closed up like the blinds 

I tell her I promise, it's fine 

But she cries herself to sleep

The men in black ties 

Arrive at the house in surprise 

To find a little girl by your side 

In the wood box where you're sleeping 

I still see you 

Inside of this god-awful house 

You move awfully quiet now 

And I still feel you everywhere 

Photos 

You told me 

This has always been worth livin' 

But what's really worth 

Living anymore?
