Why Are We Sleeping? |
It begins with a blessing |
And it ends with a curse; |
Making life easy, |
By 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, why are we sleeping! |
People are watching, |
People who stare; |
Waiting for something |
That’s already there. |
Tomorrow I’ll find it, |
The trumpeter screams, |
And remembers he’s hungry |
And drowns in his dreams, saying |
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping! |
My head is a nightclub |
With glasses and wine; |
The customers dancing |
Or just making time; |
While daevid is cursing |
The customers scream! |
Now everyone’s shouting, |
«get out of my dreams!» |
