Album | I'M Wide Awake It'S Morning |
[00:31.51] | The sun came up with no conclusion |
[00:34.75] | Flowers sleeping in their beds |
[00:37.90] | This city's cemetery's humming |
[00:40.92] | I’m wide-awake, it’s morning |
[00:46.90] | I have my drugs, I have my woman |
[00:49.76] | They keep away my loneliness |
[00:53.08] | My parents they have their religion |
[00:56.34] | But sleep in separate houses |
[01:01.87] | I read the body count out of the paper |
[01:08.35] | And now it’s written all over my face |
[01:14.85] | No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter |
[01:21.17] | Sometimes that’s just the most comfortable place |
[01:28.07] | So I’m drinking, breathing, writing, singing |
[01:31.33] | Everyday I'm on the clock |
[01:34.62] | My mind races with all my longings |
[01:37.86] | But can't keep up with what I got |
[01:43.40] | I hope I don’t sound too ungrateful |
[01:46.46] | What history gave modern man |
[01:49.71] | A telephone to talk to strangers |
[01:52.70] | Machine guns and a camera lens |
[01:58.24] | So when you’re asked to fight a war that’s over nothing |
[02:04.96] | It’s best to join the side that’s gonna win |
[02:11.70] | And no one’s sure how all of this got started |
[02:17.32] | But we’re gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end |
[02:22.70] | Oh ya we will, oh ya we will! |
[02:50.33] | Well I could have been a famous singer |
[02:53.53] | If I had someone else’s voice |
[02:56.70] | But failure’s always sounded better |
[02:59.83] | Lets **** it up boys, make some noise! |
[03:15.62] | The sun came up with no conclusion |
[03:18.41] | Flowers sleeping in their beds |
[03:21.77] | This city's cemetery's humming |
[03:24.99] | I’m wide awake, it’s morning |
[03:54.91] |
[00:31.51] | The sun came up with no conclusion |
