Why Are We Sleeping (Top Gear Session) - kevin ayers

作词：Tony Wilson

作曲：Kevin Ayers/Tony Wilson

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

Why why why why are we sleeping

My head is a nightclub

With glasses and wine

The customers dancing

Or just making time

While David is cursing

The customers scream

Now everyone's shouting

Get out of my dreams

Why why why why are we sleeping

Ohhh

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

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
