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
