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
|
|
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
|
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
|
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
|
I'll sleep when I'm dead
|
|
But until then
|
|
Well, I should at least feel tired I think
|
Before I lay me down to dream
|
