lyrics

Honey bee, sticky sweet
Make it all for you and I will take for me
Grass is green, whatever that means
Cut it with machines, to grow is but to be

Kill it easy
Kill it easy
Kill it easy
It's easy to kill

I had a dream, a simple thing
Waking up is hard, but so is everything
The tiger kills, the lion sleeps
The pig dies quietly and soon becomes the meat

But you will never ever know why dreams die
And you will never ever know why I cry

Kill it easy (one o'clock in the morning)
Kill it easy (coming in without warning)
Kill it easy
It's easy to kill

But you will never ever know why (like a dove in morning)
Dreams die
And you will never ever know why I cry
Know why (one o'clock in the morning)
Dreams die
And you will never ever know why I cry

Like a dove in morning
Like a wolf without warning
One o'clock in the morning
Coming in without warning
One o'clock in the morning
Coming in without warning
