Song from the album Songs For Insane Times: Anthology 1969-1980, in the genre ПопIt 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? |
