Sleep That Burns |
A brass band is playing, rehearsing it’s thrills |
All half-moon and cloudy, all golden and shrill. |
I’ve got a sleep that burns. |
.. a sleep that burns. |
Got a sleep that burns all night |
I’m locked in your dark world |
Where hearts hold the keys |
Half-opened, enchanted, half-truth and half dreams. |
I’ve got a sleep that burns. |
.. a sleep that burns. |
Got a sleep that burns all night |
I’m sitting in a cafe in paradise. |
Naked as a razor, I’m as loaded as a dice. |
The waitresses all ask me for my price |
I laugh and say I’m leaving and this is only dreaming |
So hold me while I’m screaming. |
Now. |
.. ! |
Is the moment of truth. |
Your youth is a mask but it’s not made to last |
For we all have a past to out run |
When the mask comes undone |
And we race on and on |
Through the fiery portals of hell. |
.. ! |
Go and tell all your friends |
That you’ve witnessed the end |
Of the world in a dream. |
The night winds are howling. |
.. seducing the trees |
I wake in a cold sweat |
With the sheets 'round my knees. |
I’ve got a sleep that burns. |
.. a sleep that burns. |
Got a sleep that burns all night |
I lay in the darkness with visionless eyes. |
Exhausted and reeling. |
.. all heartbeats and sighs. |
But the sleep still burns, yes, the sleep still burns |
Got a sleep that burns all night. |
(sleep is coming, don’t you worry. . .) |
