I must say... this song touches me... my mother committed suicide when I was 9 years old, and thought of things like this... I think he is writing this in a child-like way purposely. This is obviously about his mother who has passed on, and he is trying to think happily even though her suicide was wrong, and she was taking the easy way out... hence:
"sleep with the angels mama never look back.
sleep with the angels while the sky turn to black.
you can sleep under ladders on the tracks of a train.
but skeeping in the clouds won't keep you out of the rain"
