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
We'll 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 coming through
Well pardon me I feel for you
'Cause what I say that's what I do
So get out the way I got the truth

Hey, you tell them lies one at a time
(uh, 3, 4)
I don't want to be just another life, yeah (c'mon)
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
Take it ease with a happy eye
End my days with a healthy sigh, sing it

Oh me oh my
I'll sleep when I die, yeah
Oh me oh my
I'll sleep when I die

It's not what I say, it's what I do
So just let it be 'cause it's coming through
Don't you realize it's your one life
So if you've got to be weird
you better do it right
(weird, alright)

B-b-b-but because I'm here I'm gonna see it through
If you wanna be a million dollar fool
Now there comes a day when you want to die
But as for me I'm gonna take my time

Take it ease with a happy eye
And end my day with a healthy sigh

Oh me oh my
I'll sleep when I die, yeah
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)

(Oh me oh my)
(I'll sleep when I die)
(Oh me oh my)
(I'll sleep when I die)
