Sleep Long - Mad Caddies

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

One day I saw a man asleep

In a doorway on the street

Through walls of sheltered inhibition

I perceived his condition

Dying of hunger and exposure

Food and shelter, two blocks over

Within this place we breed and dwell

We’ve created living hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

City sleeps and pigeons flutter

Vagrant dies in the gutter

Prideless death somehow befitting

To life spent working on forgetting

Riding on the bus

I looked outside and I thought about death

Passing cars the only tribute

To his gasping final breath

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

I thought about the bitter pain

Of jail cells and falling rain

I thought ahead and I looked away

What can you do anyway?

In sheltered youth and our pretension

Avert our eyes to divert attention

Only to see the human victims

Always there to remind us

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell

Sleep long, sleep well

Sleep long, sleep well

Sleep long, sleep well

Only to awake in hell
