Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Speak not of misfortune Speak not of your woes Just steal yourself a holy death Crouching by the door Ride and sway to music's pain Searing with the sides Caress death with a lover's touch For it shall be your bride Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Purple is to yellow As sunlight is to rain Happiness and death you'll find Loveliness in pain Slash the golden whip it snaps Across the lover's sides The earth trembles without tremors Preparing for to die Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Salty ocean waves and sprays Come crashing to the shore Bullies kick and kill young loves Down on bar-room floors The gleaming knife cuts early Through the midnight air Cutting entrance in its path Blood runs without care Violence echoes through the land In heart of every man The knife, it stabs existent wounds Puss runs through meant to tear Excrements filters through the brain Hatred bends the spine Filth covers the body pores To be cleansed by dying time Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay
