Sleep On The Floor

Lyrics

Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
 Pack yourself a favorite blouse
 Take a withdrawal slip
 Take all of your savings out
 'Cause if we don't leave this town
 We might never make it out
 I was not born to drown
 Baby come on
 ♪
 Forget what Father Brennan said
 We were not born in sin
 Leave a note on your bed
 Let your mother know you're safe
 And by the time she wakes
 We'll have driven through the state
 We'll have driven through the night
 Baby come on
 ♪
 If the sun don't shine on me today
 And if the subways flood and bridges break
 Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
 Or will you rail against your dying day
 ♪
 And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
 How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
 Or is it hard work dear, holding the atmosphere?
 I don't wanna live like that
 If the sun don't shine on me today
 If the subways flood and the bridges break
 Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
 Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
 Decide on me, yeah decide on us
 Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
 ♪
 Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
 Pack yourself a favorite blouse
 Take a withdrawal slip
 Take all of your savings out
 'Cause if we don't leave this town
 We might never make it out
