To The Big Sleep – Peter McPoland

Crucify me
Well hang my halo on the wreck
Well cut me up and deny me
Oh fellas, I’m not comin’ back

Well I don’t need those human lies
Hey look, ma, there’s no tears in my eyes
Oh boy, I’ve patched you up
Oh, my dear, yes I have loved and loved

Well take me up and set me down
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry
To the big sleep here we come

(Oh one, two, three, four)

Fry me up for dinner
Well fill your vineyards with my veins
There’s nothing worse other than a wasteful person
Why the Bible says it just the same

And ain’t it such a way to go
C’mon boys let’s all catch the show
Oh my God, come pick me up
We ain’t got time for eternity of love

Well take me up and set me down
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry
To the big sleep here we come

Oh mama you’re a wreck
Lean down and kiss me mama hangin round your neck
Listen mama, listen
To what the angels sing

From the big sleep, here he comes
Take my halo off the shelf and sew me up mama
Cause I’m coming back

Well take me up and set me down
There ain’t no big life for a small Bethlehem town
Tell me why oh why must we all sit and cry
To the big sleep here we come
To the big sleep here we come
To the big sleep here we come
To the big sleep here we come
