sleep when i'm dead
[Chorus] 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 fucking other world The way they grew to (be?) (The love they feel about me?)  [Chorus]  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 fucking 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  [Chorus: x2]  Well until then  I may as well be tired, I think Before I lay me down to dream
