​of Montreal - It's Easy to Sleep When You're Dead lyrics

It's easy to sleep when you're dead but
You're unable to touch your loved ones
Give them kisses or see them smile at you
It's easy to sleep when you're dead but
You give up your life's work
And you never can reverse the
Bad things that you did

While alive you still have hope
That when you die it
Might be better when you die you are dead
And you know for sure if
It's better, if it's better, if it's better
I hope it's better

It's easy to sleep when you're dead

Though you can't feel the warmth of
Summer, smell the flowers of spring
Or drink cider in the fall
It's easy to sleep when you're dead though
It's too late to say the
Words you wanted them to hear when
You didn't have the nerve
You get to spend eternity
Thinking about your life
Think of all the time that is
Because eternity is forever, is forever
Is forever what will I do forever?
At this time there is nothing
You can change you can only sit and watch
And hope they understand
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Cause there isn't anything else
To do but sleep i feel sorry for the dead
