Sleep When I'm Dead |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| But until then |
| They told me I would live forever |
| If I kept it clean |
| They said I would be the chosen one |
| If I took one for the team |
| Yeah, it’s the only way to be |
| Never think it isn’t fair |
| That’s a green eyed panic climb |
| To the edge of nowhere |
| Give it to the chicken and see if it ticks |
| Yeah, give it to the kitten and see if it sicks |
| Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me |
| And I will tell on my return the way it is |
| With all the happy boys and girls |
| Yeah, the whole happy world |
| And the love they feel for me |
| Yeah, the love they feel for me |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| But until then |
| They told me I could run the world |
| If I kept it quiet |
| They said I could be the man |
| If I took it out of sight |
| In a monkey suit again |
| Having fun with all your friends |
| How a casual hour can pull |
| All this world to pieces |
| Give it to the bunny and see if she kicks |
| Yeah, give it to the puppy and see if he sticks |
| Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me |
| I’ll let you know when I get back just how it is |
| With all the other boys and girls |
| Yeah, the whole |
| Other world |
| And the way it stirs inside |
| And the why it never burns at night |
| And the way they make the climb |
| And the why they never pray for time |
| And the way I show surprise |
| And the why I never close my eyes |
| Yeah, just how it is |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| But until then |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| I’ll sleep when I’m dead, I said |
| Sleep when I’m dead, you angels |
| But until then |
| But until then |
| Well, I should at least feel tired I think |
| Before I lay me down to dream |
