Sleeping Dogs Best Left Alone
Sometime, the life we choose
Just like a bottomless pit
Sometime, we play with dynamite
Fuse is already lit
Sometime, we soar like an eagle
Try to fly like a bird
Sometime, we scream for help
Still can't be heard
What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard
Done is done in this big ol' world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Don't try and go backwards
The hand's been already dealt
Don't try and laugh at the same old jokes
Pain that's already felt (already been felt)
Don't try and drive with one eye closed
One tire in the ditch
Walk around with your head in the sand
Saying life ain't nothing but a bitch
What's seen is seen and what's heard is heard
Done is done in this great big world
One thing I know (one thing I know) is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
What's seen is seen and what's heard is heard (heard is heard)
Done in this big ol' world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Sleeping dogs best left alone
(Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean)
Clean and the unclean
(Planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen)
(Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean)
Heard is heard
(Planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen)
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
And what's a-heard is heard
Planting the seeds
Just like a bottomless pit
Sometime, we play with dynamite
Fuse is already lit
Sometime, we soar like an eagle
Try to fly like a bird
Sometime, we scream for help
Still can't be heard
What's seen is seen, what's heard is heard
Done is done in this big ol' world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Don't try and go backwards
The hand's been already dealt
Don't try and laugh at the same old jokes
Pain that's already felt (already been felt)
Don't try and drive with one eye closed
One tire in the ditch
Walk around with your head in the sand
Saying life ain't nothing but a bitch
What's seen is seen and what's heard is heard
Done is done in this great big world
One thing I know (one thing I know) is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
What's seen is seen and what's heard is heard (heard is heard)
Done in this big ol' world
One thing I know is life has shown
Sleeping dogs best left alone (sleeping dogs best left alone)
Sleeping dogs best left alone
(Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean)
Clean and the unclean
(Planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen)
(Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean)
Heard is heard
(Planting the seeds of the seen and the unseen)
Fixing the needs of the clean and the unclean
And what's a-heard is heard
Planting the seeds
