Iko Iko - Sleepy Head

Sleepyhead agree
Your pharaoh has thrown a punch at me
And it would be cool to say
We're falling apart at the seams

Keep it in your heart
As long as you like, it makes a spark
Right down to your soul
My life is a graveyard without you here

You said you'd love me to death
You said we all disappear in the end
You said by christmas I'll be doing fine
Well it's here and I'm not
Yet

I dream your skin
All of the ink you scream
Stars and amphetamines that you take to keep me away

You said you'd love me to death

You said we all disappear in the end
You said we all disappear in the end
You said by christmas I'll be doing fine
Well it's here and I'm not
Yet

And when
You look in his eyes
Tell me you wish
Those eyes were mine
And when
You lay in his arms
Tell me you wish
Those arms were mine

And when
They come for me
Promise me this
You'll be standing next to me
And when
They bury me
Promise me this
They'll bury you next to me
