Sleep When I'm Dead - The Cure

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 sits

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 w- 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
