Текст песни I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - John Landau & The Giants

It′s not funny. I feel nothing.
Standing—on the side of the road.
I know better—I got a letter—
And it told me—told me what I have to do.
People passing by, they're staring, looking worried—
In a hurry, like they′ve got someplace to go—
All this blood and catastrophe—that's just temporary difficulty.
Too much to do—no time to rest—I'll sleep when I′m dead.
It′s amazing—what people can pass by on their way to work.
Regrets? I don't have any—at least not for that pathetic jerk.
I feel for the people—as they go scurrying on by.
Trying to mind their business—
When all of a sudden they run into this mess.
It′s a challenge—a challenge to their peace of mind.
Still, they'll come up with a safe explanation—
By the time they get back to the grind...
All this blood and catastrophe—that′s just temporary difficulty.
Too much to do—no time to rest—
I'll sleep when I′m dead. Solo on Verse
Too much to do—no time to rest—I'll sleep when I'm dead.
Lying—on the side of the road—
Dressed up in somebody else′s brains—
And some almighty funky clothes.
But ain′t nobody bother me—looks like they all know better—
And you never can tell what's gonna happen—
Messin′ with people in this kinda weather.
It's half-past time for me to move along.
In my kinda business you ain′t got the time to sing a fancy song...
All this blood and catastrophe—That's just temporary difficulty.
Too much to do—no time to rest—I′ll sleep when I'm dead.
I'll sleep when I′m dead. I′ll sleep when I'm dead.
