It begins with a blessing [00:00:42]
But it ends with a curse [00:00:45]
Making life easy But making it worse [00:00:49]
My mask is my master [00:00:57]
The trumpeter weeps [00:01:01]
But his voice is so weak [00:01:04]
As he speaks from his sleep [00:01:06]
Singing Why why why are we sleeping? [00:01:13]
Singing Why why why are we sleeping? [00:01:26]
Now people are watching [00:01:55]
People who stare [00:01:59]
Waiting for something [00:02:02]
That's already there [00:02:04]
Tomorrow I'll find it [00:02:09]
The trumpeter screams [00:02:12]
Then remembers that he's hungry [00:02:16]
And he drowns in his dreams [00:02:19]
Singing Why why why are we sleeping? [00:02:23]
Singing Why why why are we sleeping? [00:02:37]
My head is a night club [00:04:17]
With glasses and wine [00:04:21]
But the customers dancing [00:04:24]
They're just marking time [00:04:28]
You can turn to your partner and say [00:04:32]
How does it seem? [00:04:35]
And she will look at you and say [00:04:38]
Get out of my dream ... [00:04:43]
Oh why why why are we sleeping? [00:04:46]
Oh why why why are we sleeping? [00:05:00]
Once I awakened my eyes filled with tears [00:05:24]
I had been sleeping for thousands of years [00:05:31]
Dreaming a life full of problems and sadness [00:05:38]
Endlessly turning in spirals of madness [00:05:46]
Where the wind blows [00:05:53]
That's where it all goes [00:05:57]
It follows the song [00:06:00]
Like its dream ... singing ... [00:06:03]
So it begins with a blessing [00:06:24]
But it ends with a curse [00:06:28]
Making life easy [00:06:31]
But making it worse [00:06:35]
Just turn to your partner and say [00:06:39]
How does it seem? [00:06:43]
He'll look at you and say [00:06:46]
Get out of my dream [00:06:50]
Why why why are we sleeping? [00:06:53]
Why why why are we sleeping? [00:07:07]
