Why Are We Sleeping? - The Soft Machine
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
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 Daevid is cursing the customers scream
Now everyone's shouting"Get out of my dream"
Saying:"Why why why Why are we sleeping"
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
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"
