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
