"Sleeping Sleepers Sleep" lyrics - PORTUGAL. THE MAN

Shave our heads, strip our clothes
Burn them books but the mind still grows

We people, we're dangerous things
Sheltered mind, a fear of rings
Fear of time and missing links
We all once were, oh, we all once were
And I'll walk 'til my legs are broken

I was up walking and you were the shoes
Bored with the thoughts that you thought I could use
Islands were made of brick, stone, and shade
Where deaths only rest of laughable tunes

(It never ever rains if you never cry
Never have to mourn if you never die)

Feel your toes buried sand
Wide eyes roll and the legs, they stand

We're people, we're dangerous things
A sheltered mind, a fear of rings
Fear of time and missing links
We all once were, oh, we all once were
I was asleep until my eyes opened

We are made to be sewn
Bodies, lips, eyes: earth and regrown

We people, we're dangerous things
A sheltered mind, a fear of rings
Fear of time and missing links
We all once were, oh, we all once were
And I'll walk 'til my legs are broken

Bills sit about talking of people they've used
Born of new worlds that have fallen past due
Trusting in funding and finding a place
In wheel wells and homes and people like you
Films finding fair faces and lies
While ships bearing backs house glass teeth and eyes
Like the apartment of capable tunes
That bored with the thoughts that we thought it could use

[Outro:]
It never ever rains if you never cry
Never have to mourn if you never die
