Be Bop Deluxe - Sleep That Burns lyrics

Artist: Be Bop Deluxe Album: Sunburst Finish Track: Sleep That Burns A bra** band is playing Rehearsing its thrills All half-moon and cloudy, All golden and shrill I've got a sleep that burns A sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night I'm locked in your dark world Where hearts hold the keys, Half-opened, enchanted, half-truth and half dreams... I've got a sleep that burns A sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night Naked as a razor, I'm loaded as a dice... The waitresses all ask me for my price I laugh and 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 annd 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... The night winds are howling... Seducing the trees, I wake in a cold sweat With the sheets round my knees I've got a sleep that burns A sleep that burns Got a sleep that burns all night 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 (sleep is coming, don't you worry)
