lyrics
Some men say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Some men say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
I can't sleep these days without a woman by my side
I'll never die alone
They should throw my body in the river,
but they'll probably put it down in a grave
They should throw my body deep in the river,
but they'll probably put it down in a shallow grave
They can pray for me forever,
but there's no soul that need be saved
They'll bring flowers for my gravestone,
but who needs that when you're dead
They'll bring flowers for my gravestone,
but who needs that when you're dead
I never got 'em
when I was alive and breathing and red
The mourners run and cover their heads
when the sky opens up to rain
The mourners run and cover their heads in their beds
whey the sky pours rain
That driving water can't touch me no more
Come on, pour in vain
Some men say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Some fools say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
I can't sleep these days without a woman by my side
I'll never die alone
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Some men say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
I can't sleep these days without a woman by my side
I'll never die alone
They should throw my body in the river,
but they'll probably put it down in a grave
They should throw my body deep in the river,
but they'll probably put it down in a shallow grave
They can pray for me forever,
but there's no soul that need be saved
They'll bring flowers for my gravestone,
but who needs that when you're dead
They'll bring flowers for my gravestone,
but who needs that when you're dead
I never got 'em
when I was alive and breathing and red
The mourners run and cover their heads
when the sky opens up to rain
The mourners run and cover their heads in their beds
whey the sky pours rain
That driving water can't touch me no more
Come on, pour in vain
Some men say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Some fools say
I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
I can't sleep these days without a woman by my side
I'll never die alone
