  • Sleep on the left side
    Leave the right side free
    Hope gets salted
    As those around you leave

    we're gonna let it up
    Like India House on fire
    We're gonna let it go
    And let it go higher
    Let it go

    Sleep on the left side
    Houcam is our call
    We're gonna take it
    That virgin fall

    there's gonna be some
    When we let it up and let it breathe
    And all the holes doused with grief
    And planets up and time to leave

    No Asian fire will leave us dire
    Born again to Asian lion
    There comes no telling how it will be
    What's turned to smoke was in our hearts
    And planets up, what we have lost

    Foot racing from kitchens
    Down alleys through gullys
    Meeting every second hour
    Never to come to terms with the [Incomprehensible]

    Foot racing to Putabin Key
    'Cause there's too much going on
    To jeer on green goddesses
    Local dignitaries and labor counselors
    Always in touch by way of the community organ
    We're about to be orphaned

    Sleep on the left side
    Keep the sword hand free
    Whatever is gonna be
    Is gonna be

    For the 7th time
    Without tumbling desire
    Easy disease
    We're gonna let it known
    And let it go slow, let it go

    Sleep on the left side
    Sleep on the left side

    Some sounds, some burdens can release
    Some sounds, some burdens can release
    Some sounds, some burdens
    Sleep on the left side
