Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle and
Across the seas they'll staySpeak not of misfortunes
Speak not of your woes
Just steal yourself a holiday
Crouching by the doorRide and sway to music's pain
Searing with the sides
Caress it with a lover's touch
For it shall be your brideWrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll staySlash the golden whip, it slaps
Across the lover's sides
The earth trembles without remorse
Preparing for to dieSalty ocean waves and sprays
Come crashing to the shore
Bullies kick and kill young loves
Down on barroom floorsWrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stayViolence echoes through the land
In heart of every man
The knife stabs existent wounds
Pulse runs through matted hairThe gleaming knife cuts early
Through the midnight air
Cutting entrails in its path
Blood runs without careExcrement filters through the brain
Hatred bends the spine
Filth covers the body pores
To be cleansed by dying timeWrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
