Wake Up Lyrics

Josh Woodward Wake Up

Mr. O'Leary is combing his hair and he's swirling it into a knot The mirror is laughing at Mr. O'Leary cuz it knows he's someone he's not Walking away from that painted reflection to do something else he forgot

And now he's walking around with that stupid expression While his memory asks him, well, what was the question? And follows the blind while he's trying to find All the things he's not sure that he missed

Wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up We sleep when we're walking, we never stop talking Wake up, wake up, wake up

Mrs. Jones stands at the station, she waits for a train that don't run anymore She's paid up her fare for a ticket to nowhere and thinks that she's been there before Broken dreams weigh on her mind like the water that's spilling the sand on the shore

And she's clicking her heels and she's looking for Toto While she stands with her dress dragging in the grey snow And she wants what she doesn't have, has what she doesn't want And she wants the world to know it

[chorus]

Johnny McGee's making love to TV and his stamina's really impressive It's always turned on, all night until dawn, and plays reruns when he gets aggressive Johnny's afraid that he'll worry about all the problems that he doesn't have

Because his life is so boring and he's always snoring While earth is revolving and it's not worth exploring And the faces on TV all say who he should be But nobody knows who he is

[chorus]
