Sleep When I’m Dead (Remix 4)

"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 h-h-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 f-f- 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"

I should at least feel tired I think

Before I lay me down to dream
