Sleeping In Flame (live)

Me performing my song "Sleeping In Flame" at Downtown Vintage Guitars, Las Vegas, NV in early February 2011.

LYRICS

It may be morning but the sun hasn't risen
And I feel like I'm walking out of prison
And the moon is wearing a tie
And singing a song about you and I
My only comfort is a brave cigarette
To push away the things I cannot forget
And I was wrong
But I promise that I won't be long

Why don't we burn down this fucking town
And build an empire in these streets?
I'll put on my cowboy boots
You can wear ruby slippers on your feet
And I'm calling your name
And you're sleeping in flame
My love

There was a story but I can't remember
If it was January or December
A tale of lovers or a tale of friends and
I can't remember how the story ends
I wanna keep this channel open
I wanna keep these words unspoken
'Cause I know
This is a promise that I won't let go

Why don't we burn down this fucking town?
I've just seen too much to care
Chase me down into the underground
You can wear pretty flowers in your hair
And I'm playing my game
And you're sleeping in flame
My love

Why don't we burn down this fucking town?
There's nothing better left to do
I will write love letters on these walls
I will write them all to you
And I'm signing my name
And you're sleeping in flame
My love
