The Monkey Butlers - It's Just Like Sleeping Lyrics

I like being ill cos it takes the pain away from my head
And I like getting drunk cos it means I don't wait up in my bed
Every night I'm lying awake, worrying who the f*cks gonna attend my wake
Well I like being ill cos it takes the pain away from my head
Well the nurse wakes me up with a drink and the shake of a leg
And if she's feeling lonely then it's not just a shake of the leg
Hope I never get to heaven cos they love me this way
Being sick don't suck, stay this way until the day I'm adored, not ignored
Dying will be a reward because I've lived without cause, achieving nothing in particular
Well I like women cos they make me feel like I'm like a man
And although I've broken hearts this time won't be because I'm an ass
How they'll remember fondly the fool that I was
Hope it absolves the pain and the sin that I've caused
Cos when I hit rock-bottom, I dug and I didn't look back
My IV leaks the thoughts and dreams that collect in the bedpan beneath me
The richer the sound, the harsher the smell
Tunes in my head sent straight from hell
Well I like writing songs cos I get to act like somebody else
Extrapolate my issues project into pretentious projects
Ain't got half the grace of Bowie or Waits but if I don't die soon I'll get better I pray
Well I like spinning riddles cos the joker couldn't keep a straight face
