The lyrics listed are a terrible interpretation of these song lyrics. Even the one that comes closest, the one who said "the lyrics are definitely" got it wrong, mistaking "intention" for "invention." This is from Neko's site:
VENGEANCE IS SLEEPING
Neko Case 2008
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT A BRUTE I WAS
I DIPPED MY CIGARETTE AND RODE THE BUS
VENGEANCE BUILT ME HASTILY
AND I DRAGGED THE CLANGING NOTION I WAS NOBODY, NOBODY... NOBODY
ALL I HAD WAS MY INTENTION
AND MY LOVE INVENTED ALL OF YOU
OH, LOOK WHAT THOUGHTS CAN DO
WHAT THOUGHTS CAN DO
IF BY NOW YOU ARE NOT DEAD AND BURIED
YOU ARE MOST CERTIFIABLY MARRIED, OH MARRIED
I'M SURE YOU'RE SLEEPING SOUND
WITH THE MISTRESS OF THE HOURS
THE HOURS THAT GRIND YOUR LIFE TO DUST
YOUR EASY LOVES YOU KEEP LIKE PETS
DENIED THEM YOU ARE POWERLESS
WHATEVER KEEPS YOU SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT
I'M NOT THE MAN YOU THOUGHT I WAS
MY LOVE HAS NEVER LIVED INDOORS
I'VE HAD TO DRAG IT HOME BY FORCE
HIRED HOUNDS AT BOTH MY WRISTS
DAMP AND BRUISED BY STRANGERS KISSES ON MY LIPS
BUT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I STILL MISS
I'm not sure where they got the lyrics for her site, but some include mistakes from other sites. I don't think that she has ever published her actual lyrics anywhere and she probably doesn't have much to do with the site.

I listened to the song with headphones and she does sing "invention" on it, even though the published lyrics has "intention".
