The Cure - Sleep When I'm Dead lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

<br>

But until then<br>

<br>

They told me I would live forever<br>

If I kept it clean<br>

They said I would be the chosen one<br>

If I took one for the team<br>

<br>

Yeah, it's the only way to be<br>

Never think it isn't fair<br>

That's a green eyed panic climb<br>

To the edge of nowhere<br>

<br>

Give it to the chicken and see if it ticks<br>

Yeah, give it to the kitten and see if it sicks<br>

Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me<br>

And I will tell on my return the way it is<br>

<br>

With all the happy boys and girls<br>

Yeah, the whole happy world<br>

And the love they feel for me<br>

Yeah, the love they feel for me<br>

<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

<br>

They told me I could run the world<br>

If I kept it quiet<br>

They said I could be the man<br>

If I took it out of sight<br>

<br>

In a monkey suit again<br>

Having fun with all your friends<br>

How a casual hour can pull<br>

All this world to pieces<br>

<br>

Give it to the bunny and see if she kicks<br>

Yeah, give it to the puppy and see if he sticks<br>

Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me<br>

I'll let you know when I get back just how it is<br>

<br>

With all the other boys and girls<br>

Yeah, the whole ...<br>

Other world<br>

<br>

And the way it stirs inside<br>

And the why it never burns at night<br>

And the way they make the climb<br>

And the why they never pray for time<br>

<br>

And the way I show surprise<br>

And the why I never close my eyes<br>

Yeah, just how it is<br>

<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said<br>

Sleep when I'm dead, you angels<br>

I'll sleep when I'm dead<br>

<br>

But until then<br>

<br>

Well, I should at least feel tired I think<br>

Before I lay me down to dream<br>

<BR><BR>
