Nelson A brass band is playing, rehearsing it's 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. I'm sitting in a cafe in paradise . . . Naked as a razor, I'm as 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 and 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 . . .)
