Lyrics

[00:00.57] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[00:03.75] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[00:07.56] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[00:10.87] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[00:14.31] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[00:19.48] Well until then...
[00:22.42]
[00:47.86] Told me I could run the world
[00:51.14] If I kept it clean
[00:55.38] Told me I could be the chosen one
[00:58.57] If I took one for the team
[01:02.80] And it's the only way to be
[01:07.06] Never think it isn't fair
[01:09.81] It's a green-eyed panic pride
[01:13.70] To the edge of nowhere
[01:16.93] Give it to the chick
[01:18.15] And see if it ticks
[01:19.76] Give it to the kid
[01:21.38] See if it sticks
[01:23.08] Give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
[01:25.34] I'll let you know on my return just how it is
[01:28.95] with all the other boys and girls
[01:31.38]
[01:34.60] The way they grew to be
[01:37.80] The love they feel about me
[01:41.54] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[01:46.94] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[01:50.14] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[01:53.44] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[01:57.00] Told me I could run the world
[01:59.50] If I kept it quiet
[02:03.99] They said I could be the man
[02:05.94] If I took it out of sight
[02:11.34] So in a monkey suit of pins
[02:15.63] Having fun with all your friends
[02:19.13] How a casual act can pull
[02:22.38] All this world to pieces
[02:24.94] Give it to the bunny
[02:26.56] And see if she kicks
[02:28.42] Give it to the puppy
[02:30.15] See if it sticks
[02:31.72] Give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
[02:34.91] I'll let you know when I return on how it is
[02:36.72] with all the other boys and girls
[02:38.70]
[02:42.56] The way they feel inside
[02:45.89] The why they never make it by
[02:49.24] The way they are inside
[02:52.80] The why I never take the time
[02:56.51] The way they are inside
[02:59.74] The why I never act surprised
[03:03.44] Yeah, just how it is
[03:06.24] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[03:09.13] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[03:12.33] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[03:15.69] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[03:19.05] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[03:22.54] I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
[03:25.96] Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
[03:29.37] I'll sleep when I'm dead
[03:31.90] Well until then...
[03:38.66] I may as well be tired, I think
[03:41.65] Before I lay me down to dream
[03:46.63]
