The Big Sleep |
| Why do you cry when you know how the story ends? |
| How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends? |
| We’ve all been there once, but you never left |
| This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends |
| I’m not leaving this place |
| Unless I’m leaving with you |
| 'Cause you’re the only person with a half decent heart here |
| And I know you will put it to use |
| Until it’s gone, gone, gone |
| Gone, gone, gone |
| Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah |
| Na, na, na… |
| And as you close your eyes for the big sleep |
| I hope you think of me, yeah |
| Na, na, na… |
| And if you go, I’ll be gone |
| And you’ll be left alone to live your life, as you please |
| But someday you’ll agree that I was always meant for you |
| You were always meant for me and you will see… that you’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home |
| We had a heart-to-heart about lifee |
| But neither him or me could decide for ourselves if we wanted to outlive that |
| night |
| Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls |
| Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes |
| If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole |
| What a wonderful world this could be! |
| Na, na, na… |
| And as you close your eyes for the big sleep |
| I hope you think of me, yeah |
| Na, na, na… |
| And if you go, I’ll be gone |
| And you’ll be left alone to live your life, as you please |
| But someday you’ll agree that I was always meant for you |
| You were always meant for me and you will see… that you’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| You’re impossible |
| So, how many more examples until we break? |
| So how many sacrifices must we make? |
| Because we’ve all been there once before |
| And it looks like we’ve returned once more |
| So is this the beginning or the end? |
| The last two soldiers on the battlefield |
| Survivors of the war |
| They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord |
| «If you’re listening, I’m missing him |
| So somehow bring him home |
| How did it come to this?» |
| So the soldiers lift their rifles |
| And they’re aiming at the head |
| They think of their first love before they take their final breaths |
| And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said… |
| «How did it come to this?» |
| And as you close your eyes for the big sleep |
| I hope you think of me, yeah |
| Na, na, na… |
| And as you close your eyes for the big sleep |
| I hope you think of me, yeah |
| Na, na, na… |
