It's comfy in my coffin and I'm sleepin' here tonight
Lay my head upon the pillow and I'll hold my pistol tight
Drink up all the darkness till I'm too drunk to see
Hammered in the silence with no dreams to worry me
When I'm sleeping in my coffin I forget what I have vowed
And there I slumber deeper than my conscious will allow
The folks that got within my way I put a bullet through
When I'm sleeping in my coffin I forget I've done that too
Sleep is like the time before the journey did begin
And sleep is like the river I will dump his body in
But sleep is also like this gun here that I'm clinging to
Before the trigger and the pin and the bullet passing through
At night I hold my anger till the edge is sharp and fine
That separate the bonds twixt me and all mankind
When I wake up in the morning I'll be ready for a fight
But it's comfy in my coffin and I'm sleeping here tonight
