Wake me up

from Do Not Resuscitate by The Quixotes

lyrics

All these homes are made of sand
And the seas keep washing through
Take your spin doctor’s hand
All the lies he’s pushing you
Why is such a passive world
Breaking up?

Another life, another plan, another place
What you’ve seen of me will disappear without a trace

The verité of my dreams
Died in the streets and in your arms
Lied in the face of facts
Though we all come to harm
How is such an honest world
So afraid to tell the truth?

Another life, another plan, another place
What you’ve seen of me will disappear without a trace

If we don’t want to know the truth
All we have to do is stay awake

Another life, another plan, another place
What you’ve seen of me will disappear without a trace

If I ever smelt the roses
Or touched a nerve
When I’m lying there
My eyes are closed; my heart is opened to you
Please, wake me up, it puts me to sleep
Wake me up, it puts me to sleep
Wake me up and put me to sleep

If this world ain’t real
Peel back the onion layers
Reveal the seedy underworld
That tries so hard to make us cry
Why would a real world
Destroy something so beautiful?

Another life, another plan, another place
What you’ve seen of me will disappear without a trace

Wake me up, it puts me to sleep
