Lyrics
SLEEP WHEN I DIE
Gotta pay the fare for all the wear and tear, whatever it is worth
Twenty-four seven don't get you to heaven, gotta find heaven on earth
Whatever it is worth
Gotta find heaven here on earth
Work all day, play all night. Can't sleep when I try
Work all day, play all night. I'll sleep when I die
(Straddle-addle-addle bobo-ladda bobo-ling-toon ring-toon botty michy cambo)
Sleep when I die
I can't sleep between the sheets, when I'm three sheets to the wind
On my knees and I'm quesy that's how I pay when I've sinned
When I'm three sheets to the wind
that's how I pay when I've sinned
Work all day, play all night. Can't sleep when I try
Work all day, play all night. I'll sleep when I die
(Straddle-addle-addle bobo-ladda bobo-ling-toon ring-toon botty michy cambo)
Sleep when I die
(solos)
Work all day, play all night. Can't sleep when I try
Work all day, play all night. I'll sleep when I die
(Straddle-addle-addle bobo-ladda bobo-ling-toon ring-toon botty michy cambo)
Sleep when I die
It ain't right to be up all night, but I don't think about it 'til dawn
For my boss's sake, I pretend I'm awake, try to keep it up all day long
Don't think about it 'til dawn
Keep it up all day long
Work all day, play all night. Can't sleep when I try
Work all day, play all night. I'll sleep when I die
(Straddle-addle-addle bobo-ladda bobo-ling-toon ring-toon botty michy cambo)
Sleep when I die
(Straddle-addle-addle bobo-ladda bobo-ling-toon ring-toon botty michy cambo)
Sleep when I die
