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
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
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
