Bill Nelson - Sleep That Burns lyrics

A bra** 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 . . .)
