Lyrics
Biggest bed that I can find
best mattress that money can buy
But I'm still sleeping on stones
Eyes bloodshot it's after midnight
dodging these memories you left behind
Cause I'm still sleeping on stones
So tell me when will I be able to
sleep without you haunting me all night long
It's a wonder I can sleep at all,
after you gone and left these stones here in my heart so cold
Now not even Citizen Cope will help me sleep because
Behind those lying eyes you're the only one who knows why
I'm still sleeping on stones, I'm still sleeping on stones
Got a hole the size of Texas
from poison that I ingested
And this empty house that you left me
You played me like a pool hall hustler,
plays a fool right out the door
And now I'm sleeping on stones
So tell me when will I be able to
sleep without you haunting me all night long
It's a wonder I can sleep at all
after you gone and left these stones here in my heart so cold
Not even Citizen Cope will help me sleep because
Behind those lying eyes you're the only one who knows why
It's 3 A.M. you're just getting in from a night out clubbing with your friends
Climbing out of my BMW.
Stumbling up those stairs tell me do hear those whispers
Calling out your name.
It's a wonder you can sleep at all, after you gone and left these stones here in my heart
last fall
And not even getting drunk will help you sleep because
Behind those lying eyes you're still the only one who knows why
It's a wonder I can sleep at all, turns out I'm stronger than I thought
Now I got that Citizen Cope playing on the stereo
Lying next to these hazel eyes now I'm the one who knows why
I'm skipping stones tonight, I'm skipping stones tonight ``
