Sleeping Beauty Lyrics
When everyone's sleeping through the night
When everyone's sleeping through the night
And I'll unfold my hands
When everyone, everyone
When everyone's sleeping through the night
When everyone's sleeping through the night
And I'll unfold my hands and my hands and
Hotel bathroom
Off the deep end
There's a light on
Sleeping beauty
Share your wisdom
Keep the smoke in
With a towel
Stand back
Stand
Recollection
Will betray us
Sleeping beauty
Write a memoir
Lie through your teeth
Make me honest
Share the proceeds
Stand back
Stand
Stand back
Stand
(When everyone's sleeping through the night)
When everyone's sleeping through the night
And I'll unfold my hands
When everyone's sleeping through the night
When everyone's sleeping through the night
And I'll unfold my hands and my hands and
Off the deep end
There's a light on
Share your wisdom
Keep the smoke in
With a towel
Stand
Will betray us
Sleeping beauty
Lie through your teeth
Make me honest
Share the proceeds
Stand
Stand back
Stand
(When everyone's sleeping through the night)

I think the song may be about the whole james frey million little pieces incident, based solely on "write a memoir â lie through your teeth â make me honest, share the proceeds"
Maybe?
Either way, great fucking song, great fucking album, great fucking band.
I think the line is "Keep the smoke in with a towel" as in, plugging up the space between a door and the floor in order to hotbox a room.
Is it "step back" or "stand back"? The first time he says it it sounds like "stepped back."
Then there's this: "Everyone When everyone’s sleeping through the night When everyone’s sleeping through the night Then I’ll unfold my hands and my hands and When everyone’s… (repeat)"
This is just a nonsensical round.
Definitely "Keep the smoke in with a towel."
I think it's "Make me honest, share the proceeds."
I have no idea what "Eye through your C" is supposed to be. Anyone?
good catches digitaux.
is this anyone else's favorite song on the album? it's emotionally stunning.
just listened to some live versions on youtube and he definitely says lie through your teeth.

I think it's about a murder of a prostitute or a woman in a crappy hotel room and the guilt is weighing down on the murderer.
