You, my dear, sleep tight!

Leave the day behind you

You, my love, sleep tight!

Let me reach out tonight

I'll promise to soothe you: no danger will stray

All worries that haunt you, I'll blow them away

Swallowed the pill to fool you, nightmares gobbed distorted lies (lies, lies, lies)

Implicit trust that led to awakenings with bitter cries

Take it away from me, take it away!

So unscrupulous and pharmaceutically blasphemous

It kills a motherly happiness she once could feel

And in her sleep relentlessly emerges an imagery that won't go away!

Am I asleep or awake? Is it night, is it day? I don't know

I don't know

But for god's sake, please blow it away!

Am I asleep or awake?

Am I asleep or awake?

Am I asleep, sleep, sleep?

Am I asleep or awake?

I could not trust in you, how should you ever trust me? And I sleep

And I sleep

You, my dear, sleep tight!

Leave your past behind you

You, my love, sleep tight!

Let me blow out the light
