You're only sleeping

Just a line-by line translation.

Scarcely woke up, made the E2-E4 move,
There is another line to write,
but
Your Energiser is over, over,
A man passing by is squirming of laughter,
You are seeing around only grins on the faces,
And suddenly notice that you're only sleeping.

You woke up, washed, shaved, made your push-ups,
Stepped on the cat, sweared at wife,
Made it up with the wife, sweared at the road police,
And suddenly notice that you're only sleeping.

You come to your job, you leave your job,
Gradually forgetting who you are and where you're from,
Constantly forgetting who you are and where you're from,
Forever forgetting that you're only sleeping.

You are dreaming about a fisherman by coral reefs,
An unknown hero of ancient Greek myths,
Molecular physics, energy of atom,
A naked woman, a killer with shovel,
A New Year's tree, an orbital station,
A soap-box with music, a radio with dances,
A machine oil, mobile honeycombs,
(no translation for the next line!Emotion: smile
You are dreaming about Tibet behind the clouds,
A London club, a coffeeshop in Amsterdam,
A Japanese cuisine, the 22-nd trick,
A carrier rocket with nuclear warhead,
A cave full of diamonds and rubies,
Everyone wants you, everyone loves you,
Your pic's on the front page of yellow press,
And you suddenly notice that you're only sleeping.

If God does exist, he is far away from us,
He went into milk as a Christmas bullet,
You will acheive what everyone is striving for,
And will suddenly find the smiles on the faces,
And your Energizer will start over once more,
And the passing by man will go laughing again,
And there will be no problems with wife or police,
And once you'll discover that you've only been dreaming.
