While We Were Sleeping Lyrics

While we lay there sleeping

The stars were all snuffed out

One by one

Their life's work done

While we sat there talking

Words were decomposed

Row by row

Their meanings known

Burn out

In the airlane

Melt down

In this quick little town

There are leaves on the pavement

And torpor in the veins

There are leaves on the pavement

There's torpor in the veins

While we went around searching

Secrets were exposed

Bone by bone

Mysteries disclosed

Burn out

Of a cold flame

Melt down

In this quick little town

There are leaves on the pavement

And torpor in the veins

There are leaves on the pavement

And torpor in the veins

There are leaves on the pavement

And torpor in the veins
