It Begins With A Blessing/Once I Awakened/But It Ends With A Curse |
It begins with a blessing |
But it ends with a curse |
Making life easy |
But making it worse |
My mask is my master |
The trumpeter weeps |
But his voice is so weak |
As he speaks from his sleep |
Saying |
Why why why are we sleeping? |
Now people are watching |
People who stare |
Waiting for something |
That’s already there |
Tomorrow I’ll find it |
The trumpeter screams |
Then remembers that he’s hungry |
And he drowns in his dreams |
Singing |
Why why why are we sleeping? |
My head is a night club |
With glasses and wine |
But the customers dancing |
They’re just marking time |
You can turn to your partner and say |
How does it seem? |
And she will look at you and say |
Get out of my dream … |
Oh why why why are we sleeping? |
Once I awakened my eyes filled with tears |
I had been sleeping for thousands of years |
Dreaming a life full of problems and sadness |
Endlessly turning in spirals of madness |
Where the wind blows |
That’s where it all goes |
It follows the song |
Like its dream … singing … |
So it begins with a blessing |
But it ends with a curse |
Making life easy |
But making it worse |
Just turn to your partner and say |
How does it seem? |
He’ll look at you and say |
Get out of my dream |
Why why why are we sleeping? |
