Oleka Lyrics

In a dream

You and I ran from twisting tall tornadoes

But I woke up feelin' fine

Because you died so long ago 

I remember when my father told me I'd have to bury you someday

And I did not believe him

Why do I never believe him

All the beasts of burden

Keep the wheel turnin'

Summer nights keep slippin' by

I wasted my whole life

At least I'm earnin'

All your days lost

To that spinning repetition

That old hamster wheel

That sun and moon

Old men who once were children

Are your tired eyes that watch the sky

In tears with joy or sickness?

Can we ever catch the here and now

And end this awful quickness?

All the beasts of burden

Keep the wheel turnin'

Summer nights keep slippin' by

I wasted my whole life

At least I'm earnin'
