Lyrics

[00:01.73] Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams
[00:03.53]
[00:05.67]
[00:11.48] Wrap your troubles in dreams
[00:16.02] Send them all away
[00:21.17] Put them in a bottle and
[00:25.75] Across the seas they'll stay
[00:30.44]
[00:35.77] Speak not of misfortunes
[00:40.32] Speak not of your woes
[00:45.18] Just steal yourself a holiday
[00:50.24] Crouching by the door
[00:55.03]
[01:00.27] Ride and sway to music's pain
[01:04.94] Searing with the sides
[01:09.65] Caress it with a lover's touch
[01:14.56] For it shall be your bride
[01:22.92]
[01:30.69] Wrap your troubles in dreams
[01:35.32] Send them all away
[01:40.22] Put them in a bottle
[01:44.55] And across the seas they'll stay
[01:47.83]
[01:53.99] Slash the golden whip, it slaps
[01:58.76] Across the lover's sides
[02:04.18] The earth trembles without remorse
[02:08.54] Preparing for to die
[02:13.64]
[02:18.46] Salty ocean waves and sprays
[02:23.35] Come crashing to the shore
[02:28.70] Bullies kick and kill young loves
[02:33.02] Down on barroom floors
[02:41.50]
[02:49.10] Wrap your troubles in dreams
[02:53.62] Send them all away
[02:58.48] Put them in a bottle
[03:02.65] And across the seas they'll stay
[03:06.32]
[03:12.28] Violence echoes through the land
[03:16.68] In heart of every man
[03:22.14] The knife stabs existent wounds
[03:26.90] Pulse runs through matted hair
[03:31.63]
[03:36.29] The gleaming knife cuts early
[03:41.21] Through the midnight air
[03:46.14] Cutting entrails in its path
[03:51.03] Blood runs without care
[03:56.74]
[04:06.48] Excrement filters through the brain
[04:11.00] Hatred bends the spine
[04:16.49] Filth covers the body pores
[04:20.47] To be cleansed by dying time
[04:25.68]
[04:35.67] Wrap your troubles in dreams
[04:40.29] Send them all away
[04:45.30] Put them in a bottle
[04:49.55] And across the seas they'll stay
[04:53.16]
