Sleeping On the Counter

I was sleeping on the counter
Did you have to leave me there
With my eyes wired shut and
And a crown of thorns in my hair

I was sleeping on the counter
When the storm broke and
All my dreams went up in smoke
I was sleeping on the counter
Did you have to leave me there

I’ll show them to you, baby
My leg cramps and my poor nails
They’re from falling off your counter
And from breaking into your jails

I was sleeping on the counter
When the storm broke and
All my dreams went up in smoke
I was sleeping on the counter
Did you have to leave me there

I was sleeping on the counter
Like a baby if you please
But you didn’t know
The forest from the trees

I was sleeping on the counter
When the storm broke and
All my dreams went up in smoke
I was sleeping on the counter
Did you have to leave me there

I love you, baby and
I hope you love me too
Sometimes I wonder when
I see the things you do

I was sleeping on the counter
When the storm broke and
All my dreams went up in smoke
I was sleeping on the counter
Did you have to leave me there
