Why Are We Sleeping Songtext
von Bongwater

It begins with a blessing
And 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
Because he speaks in his sleep

Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
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 his hunger
And drowns in his dreams

Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?

Thy hand is a white glove
With glasses and wine
The customer′s dancing
Or just making time

Now David is cursing
The customer screams
Now everyone's shouting
"Get out of my dream!"

Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?
