[Verse 1]
It begins with a blessing, 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
[Chorus]
Saying, "Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Saying, "Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
[Verse 3]
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 dream!"
[Chorus]
Saying, "Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
It begins with a blessing, 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
[Outro]
Saying, "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?"
"Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
"Why, why, why, why are we sleeping?"
