And I´m tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can´t hear what he´s saying

Oh Mom, I wonder when I´ll be waking
It´s just that there´s so much to do
And I´m tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
They´re up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps

Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his "clean quilted heart"

Oh Mom, I wonder when I´ll be waking
It´s just that there´s so much to do
And I´m tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging

Her bones are twisting and dancing
She´s fighting for her small life

Oh Mom, I wonder when I´ll be waking
It´s just that there´s so much to do
And I´m tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, I wonder when I´ll be waking
It´s just that there´s so much to do
And I´m tired of sleeping
