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
