The Great Caruso

1906
The morning after Carmen
The earth was shaking
The sky was almost burning
San Francisco
I'm The Great Caruso
My blood-red suite with the lits jumeaux
Are turning

When I look at my life
My life is a dream
When I look at my life
My life is a dream
Let me sleep
Let me sleep

Then I woke up and
I'm in the middle of the ocean on an island
With a volcano smoking my last cigarette
There are not many trees and a windy beach
And big black rocks and a lot of mean dogs around me

When I look at my life
My life is a dream
Let me sleep
(Let me sleep)
When I look at my life
My life is a dream
Let me sleep
(Don't wake me up)

Oh, the sun comes up
And the sun goes down
The sun comes up
And the sun goes down
Somewhere

And a man came up to me
He said: "Where are you going?"
I said
I said: "I am going nowhere"

When my life is a dream
Don't wake me up
Let me sleep
When I look at my life
My life is a dream
Let me sleep
Let me sleep

I am The Great Caruso
