It begins with a blessing
and 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!
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 dreams!"(Sloan/Barri)
Hold on, hold on
You've got a girl who really loves you
(you've got a girl who really cares)
She'll do anything you ask her to
Yet you treat her wrong
Oh you just string her along
Brother, if I were in your shoes
I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
And make the whole world know she's mine
I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
A love like hers is very hard to find
She does her best to make you happy
(she always does her very best)
You do your best to make her blue
Buddy, you've got it made
But you'd rather go and play
I know one thing for sure, if I were you
I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
And make the whole world know she's mine
I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
A love like hers is very hard to find
She's always there each time you need her
(each time you need her she is there)
She gives her love so willingly
But you just don't care
You know that she'll be there
How I wish she'd felt that way about me
I would hold on, hold on, hold on tight
And make the whole world know she's mine
I would hold on, hold on, with all my might
A love like hers is very hard to find
Hold on, hold on
