I've been sleeping without memorynI think I'll lie a little longernWait for the crowds to gonMaybe I'll die in this unholy massnAnd I'll be freennYes that's what they say that I would benWhen we came to watch the world be overnBut there's too many fools nOn this boat that madenI can hardly see the waternnWhat's happened to menI was down on my kneesnI was praying to leavenBut I never know when I've gone too farnnThis disaster in menWhat a beautiful dreamnThat told me I'd be cleanernTold me I'd be closer to GodnnOh, the birds of paradise nCame to me yesterdaynLaughed when they told me my fatenWe'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathenAnd one day I'm gonna leave this placennWhat's happened to menI was down on my kneesnI was praying to leavenBut I never know when I've gone too farnnThis disaster in menWhat a beautiful dreamnThat told me I'd be cleanernTold me I'd be closer to Godn
