Sleeping Dogs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I' m ready to be happy
I' ve been down too long
It' s time to rise above it all
I put a big smile across my face as
I walk down joy street yeah
Follow me if you can
But leave all the burdens behind
Don' t look to the past
It' ll make you passteristik
Look to the future
It' ll make you futuristik
Hey mister! Hey sir!
Don' t open that cupboard
I don' t want no skeletons falling out
I don' t want no bones falling out
I don' t want my past
Catching up with me
'Cause I' m happy oh......
Chorus:
Let sleeping dogs lie
I see two men in the street
Holding hands and kissing
The other one looks
The other one smiles
When the other one smiles
The other one blushes
I didn' t wanna know
What' s going on
As long as they' re happy
I don' t wanna look up to politicians
They' re gonna feed me
Political bull
And I will have
Political diarrhoea
Don' t look to the past
It' ll make you passteristik
( Don' t look it up -
Me just made it up )
Look to the future
It' ll make you futuristik
Hey mister! Hey sir!
Don' t open that cupboard
I don' t want no bones falling out
Chorus till fade
