Sleep That Burns

A brass band is playing Rehearsing it's thrills All half-moon and cloudy All golden and shrill Got a sleep that burns A sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night All right I'm locked in your dark world Where hearts hold the keys Half-opened, enchanted Half-truth and half dreams Got a sleep that burns A sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night 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, 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 A dream The night winds are howling Seducing the trees I wake in a cold sweat With the sheets round my knees Got a sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night All right 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 All night All night All night
