[Verse 1]
Shadow face
Blowing smoke and talking wind
Lost my grip
Fell too far to start again, start again
A sudden snake
Found my shape and tells the world
Remember this
Remember everything's just black or burning sun

[Chorus 1]
And I hope it's a sweet ride
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone

[Verse 2]
Warm and sweet
Swinging from a window's ledge
Tight and deep
One last sin before I'm dead, before I'm dead
A sucking holy wind
Will take me from this bed tonight
And bloody wits
Another hits me and I have to say goodbye

[Chorus 1]
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone

[Chorus 2]
And I hope it's a sweet ride
Here for me tonight
'Cause I feel I'm going
Feel I'm slowing down

[Chorus 1]
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone
Sleep tight for me
Sleep tight for me, I'm gone

[Chorus 2]
And I hope it's a sweet ride
Here for me tonight
'Cause I feel I'm going
Feel I'm slowing down

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
