Music does something
Most don't know what it does
Just accept it as the sky is blue
But for some people
They got a window half open in their souls
When the breeze blows, it blows
Now, one particular person climbed right through that window
Went so far looking, he forgot what it was he was missing in the first place
Like I said, music does something
After a while, he realized he might well be starving to death reading a cookbook
And there ain't no amount of thinking can fix thinking
So he climbed back through
Into the here and into the now
He checked in, heart and soul
To a place they call
Hotel surrender
Get out the way, I'm comin' through, uh
Well, pardon me, I feel for you
'Cause what I say, that's what I do, mm
So get out the way I got the truth
Hey, you tell them lies one at a time, uh, three, four
I don't wanna be just another life, yeah, yeah, come on
I'll be the fool for all of you
Bet you wanna see how I'm gonna do
Another day, another lie
If you go to sleep, that's the way to die, ooh
Take it ease with a happy eye, mm
End my days with a healthy sigh, huh, sing it
Oh me, oh my, uh
I'll sleep when I die, yeah
Oh me, oh my
I'll sleep when I die
Uh, it's not what I say, it's what I do
So just let it be 'cause it's comin' through
Don't you realize it's your one life, uh
So if you've got to be weird, you better do it right, weird, alright, huh
But because I'm here I'm gonna see it through, uh
If you wanna be a million dollar fool, babe
Now there comes a day when you wanna die, uh
But as for me I'm gonna take my time, uh
Take it ease with a happy eye, mm, yeah
And end my day with a healthy sigh, ah
Oh me, oh my
I'll sleep when I die, yeah
Oh me, oh my, uh
I'll sleep when I die
(Oh me, oh my)
(I'll sleep when I die)
(Oh me, oh my)
(I'll sleep when I die)
(Oh me, oh my)
(I'll sleep when I die)
