[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?"
"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?"

[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?"
