Go To Sleep
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Twenty-one days lost at sea i fought
For twenty-two years non-stop i've talked
Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused i walked
I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on me
They sing my funeral song in harmony
Well i just want to walk home on the drunk i need
But they keep singing and singing and singing to me...
La, la, la, la, la, la (i hear them singing)
La, la, la, la, la, la (singing for me)
La, la, la, la, la, la (oh!)
Well i wish things were different, true, and deep
But everything that's so shallow is everything about me
If only i could just take all my money and leave
I hope the people on the ground will understand
I hope the people out there will understand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
La, la
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
La, la
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Ve a dormir
Recuéstate, recuéstate, ve a dormir, amigo mío
Limpia la sangre de tu rostro y tus manos
Perdónate si crees que puedes
Ve a dormir, ve a dormir, amigo mío
Veintiún días perdido en el mar luché
Por veintidós años sin parar he hablado
A través del desierto, borracho y confundido caminé
Escupí un diente en la palma de mi mano
Recuéstate, recuéstate, ve a dormir, amigo mío
Limpia la sangre de tu rostro y tus manos
Perdónate si crees que puedes
Ve a dormir, ve a dormir, amigo mío
Bueno, el viento y los árboles se están confabulando contra mí
Cantan mi canción fúnebre en armonía
Solo quiero caminar a casa borracho que necesito
Pero siguen cantando y cantando y cantando para mí...
La, la, la, la, la, la (los escucho cantar)
La, la, la, la, la, la (cantando para mí)
La, la, la, la, la, la (¡oh!)
Bueno, desearía que las cosas fueran diferentes, verdaderas y profundas
Pero todo lo superficial es todo acerca de mí
Si tan solo pudiera tomar todo mi dinero y marcharme
Espero que la gente en el suelo entienda
Espero que la gente allá afuera entienda
Recuéstate, recuéstate, ve a dormir, amigo mío
Limpia la sangre de tu rostro y tus manos
Perdónate si crees que puedes
Ve a dormir, ve a dormir, amigo mío
La, la
Ve a dormir, ve a dormir, amigo mío
La, la
Ve a dormir, ve a dormir, amigo mío
