One Day They'll Come and Get You Where you Sleep
We don't ever get around to what we mean.
The most that you can hope for
Is to keep from being seen.
And you can put down a fair amount of time
To waiting in line
Then, one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
You'll inherit a life-long list of misery
And the time will come you'll believe most anything you see
You'll learn to moan and greave and wallow and weep
And then one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
Between the shadow of the grave
And the circling of the crows
You won't find one ounce of wisdom or a single shred of hope
And it won'r matter much the company that you keep
Because the Lord God always comes to collect his sheep
And every nightmare on the stage
And everyday you're two days late
With a drumbeat in your heart and a fire in your veins
But it won't matter much where you stand
Because every grain of sand is holy land
And then one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
One day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
The most that you can hope for
Is to keep from being seen.
And you can put down a fair amount of time
To waiting in line
Then, one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
You'll inherit a life-long list of misery
And the time will come you'll believe most anything you see
You'll learn to moan and greave and wallow and weep
And then one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
Between the shadow of the grave
And the circling of the crows
You won't find one ounce of wisdom or a single shred of hope
And it won'r matter much the company that you keep
Because the Lord God always comes to collect his sheep
And every nightmare on the stage
And everyday you're two days late
With a drumbeat in your heart and a fire in your veins
But it won't matter much where you stand
Because every grain of sand is holy land
And then one day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
One day they'll come and get you where you sleep.
