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
