Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams

Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle and Across the seas they'll stay Speak not of misfortunes Speak not of your woes Just steal yourself a holiday Crouching by the door Ride and sway to music's pain Searing with the sides Caress it 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 Slash the golden whip, it slaps Across the lover's sides The earth trembles without remorse Preparing for to die Salty ocean waves and sprays Come crashing to the shore Bullies kick and kill young loves Down on barroom floors Wrap your troubles in dreams Send them all away Put them in a bottle And across the seas they'll stay Violence echoes through the land In heart of every man The knife stabs existent wounds Pulse runs through matted hair The gleaming knife cuts early Through the midnight air Cutting entrails in its path Blood runs without care Excrement 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 --- Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams - Nico and The Velvet Underground
