Text Písně: 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
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..."

Well...I should at least feel tired, I think
Before I lay me down to dream
