Album: Mixed Blessings
Wake Up
Wake up
Who put those visions in your head
Who left their makeup on your sheets
Who put that poison in your mind
Who left you crying in the street
Who kept you hanging on the line
Who roped you off the scene of crime
Who called the cops and made you mad
Who took your trip and made it bad
The sweeter is the apple
The blacker is the core
And I heard my woman laughing behind my
brother's door
She's greedy and she's thirsty and singing for her soul
If you scratch your lover deep enough you may find a foe
Wake up your dream sounds so sad
SPOKEN:
I tripped the laser strand as the lights went out
And the final call came out for the rats and the roaches
Untouchables, creatures framed in sulphur and in sparks
Wake up
Wake up
Let me give you something to dream about
