| [00:11.93] |
I've got this phosphorescent portrait |
| [00:14.99] |
Of gentle Jesus meek and mild |
| [00:17.47] |
I've got this harlot |
| [00:19.40] |
That I'm stuck |
| [00:19.96] |
With carrying another man's child |
| [00:22.86] |
The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out |
| [00:26.62] |
As we arrived |
| [00:28.62] |
They'd throw us back across the border |
| [00:31.18] |
If they knew that we survived |
| [00:33.19] |
And they were surprised to see us |
| [00:39.94] |
So they greeted us with palms |
| [00:46.73] |
They asked for ammunition |
| [00:50.75] |
Acts of contrition and small alms |
| [00:57.73] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [00:58.63] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [01:00.35] |
Wake me up |
| [01:02.73] |
With a slap or a kiss |
| [01:08.27] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [01:09.46] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [01:10.85] |
Wake me up |
| [01:13.48] |
There must be something better than this |
| [01:19.66] |
I've got this imaginary radio |
| [01:22.02] |
And I'm punching up the dial |
| [01:25.18] |
I've got the A C trained on the T V |
| [01:27.67] |
So it won't blow up in my eye |
| [01:30.93] |
And everything |
| [01:32.13] |
That I thought fanciful or mocked |
| [01:34.55] |
As too extreme |
| [01:36.64] |
Must be family entertainment here |
| [01:39.04] |
In the strange land of my dreams |
| [01:42.36] |
And I'm practicing |
| [01:43.53] |
My likeness of St |
| [01:48.77] |
Francis of Assisi |
| [01:53.65] |
And if I hold my hand outstretched |
| [01:59.33] |
A little bird comes to me |
| [02:04.76] |
And I might recite a small prayer |
| [02:07.81] |
If I ever said them |
| [02:10.57] |
I lay down on an iron frame |
| [02:13.90] |
And found myself in Bedlam |
| [02:16.48] |
Stepping on the fingers |
| [02:18.94] |
That were stretching through the bars |
| [02:22.14] |
Wailing echoes down the corridors |
| [02:28.09] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [02:29.26] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [02:30.66] |
Wake me up |
| [02:33.08] |
With a slap or a kiss |
| [02:38.66] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [02:39.81] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [02:41.17] |
Wake me up |
| [02:43.21] |
There must be something better than this |
| [03:01.72] |
They've got this scared |
| [03:02.87] |
And decorated girl strapped to the steel |
| [03:04.63] |
Trunk of a Mustang |
| [03:07.14] |
They drove her down a cypress grove |
| [03:09.45] |
Where traitors hang and stars still spangle |
| [03:12.38] |
They dangled flags |
| [03:13.74] |
And other rags along a colored thread of twine |
| [03:17.99] |
They dragged that bruised and purple heart |
| [03:20.85] |
Along the road to Palestine |
| [03:24.02] |
Someone went off muttering |
| [03:29.51] |
He mentioned thirty pieces |
| [03:35.47] |
Easter saw a slaughtering |
| [03:40.75] |
Each wrapped in bloodstained fleeces |
| [03:46.40] |
My thoughts returned to vengeance |
| [03:52.10] |
But I put up no resistance |
| [03:57.67] |
Though I seemed a long way from my home |
| [04:03.34] |
It really was no distance |
| [04:09.65] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [04:10.87] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [04:12.37] |
Wake me up |
| [04:14.63] |
With a slap or a kiss |
| [04:20.43] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [04:21.50] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [04:22.79] |
Wake me up |
| [04:25.46] |
There must be something better than this |
| [04:43.04] |
And the player piano |
| [04:44.63] |
Picks out "Life Goes On" |
| [04:48.44] |
The Ringtone rang out "Jerusalem" |
| [04:54.15] |
Into the pit of sadness |
| [04:56.87] |
Where the wretched plunge |
| [04:59.56] |
We've buried all the Innocents |
| [05:02.58] |
We must bury revenge |
| [05:05.54] |
We must bury revenge |
| [05:08.22] |
We must bury revenge |
| [05:11.66] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [05:12.93] |
Wake me up wake me up |
| [05:14.36] |
Wake me up |
| [05:15.99] |
There must be something |
| [05:19.09] |
Better than this |
| [05:21.56] |
There must be something |
| [05:24.60] |
Better than this |
| [05:27.20] |
There must be something |
| [05:30.17] |
Better than this |
| [05:32.82] |
There must be something |
| [05:36.16] |
Better than this |
