Sleep When I'm Dead Lyrics - Hypnagogic States - 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 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" 

I should at least feel tired I think 

Before I lay me down to dream
