"SLEEP WHEN I´M DEAD". THE CURE.

SEELP WHEN I´M DEAD

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

Well until then...

Told me I could run the world

If I kept it clean

Told me I could be the chosen one

If I took one for the team

And it's the only way to be

Never think it isn't fair

It's a green-eyed panic (pride?)

To the edge of nowhere

Give it to the chick

And see if it ticks

Give it to the (kid?)

See if it sticks

Give it to the wonderful, wonderful me

I'll let you know on my return just how it is

with all the other boys and girls

The whole f**king other world

The way they grew to (be?)

(The love they feel about 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

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

So in a monkey suit of (pins?)

Having fun with all your friends

How a casual (act can pull?)

All this world to pieces

Give it to the (bunny? bonnie?)

And see if she kicks

Give it to the (puppy?)

See if it sticks

Give it to the wonderful, wonderful me

I'll let you know when I return on how it is

with all the other boys and girls

The whole f**king other world

The way they feel inside

The why they never make it (by?)

The way they are inside

The why I never take the time

The way they are inside

The why I never act surprised

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

Well until then...

I may as well be tired, I think

Before I lay me down to dream
