Lyrics

Bilingual
Just as it happened
Like a thousand time before
Again with family and friends
Been away far too long
With love and spirit
We gladly settled in
Headlights on the highway
A silhouette appeared ghostly thin
As it struggled desperately towards the gathering
Another one of us? No
Someone in trouble, maybe
The scene didn't seem too alarming
ย
Someone called out from the inside
The shadow came into the light
His blaze red, far away look
His nervous smile and metallic tooth
What on earth was wrong
with this stranger's night
He talked in circles, Lord
A million miles per hour
He needed a phone
He had a flat tire
He said something about money
And his friend's Corvette
The situation turned
He started getting anxious
He reached in his pocket
For what I thought was a cigarette
So wake up!
Somebody wake me up
Have I been sleeping all my life?
The time has come and the sky is turning red
So wake me
Before I'm gone
ย
It's hard to forget
the haunting scream
As I lie in the shock of this crazy dream
Looking around
At all my loved ones panicked faces
But I'm gonna get him
Lord, sweet revenge
But it must be gravity
'Cause I can't move an inch
I'm floating in a scarlet pool
And there's a burning in my neck
So wake up!
Somebody wake me up
Have I been sleeping all my life?
The time has come and the sky is turning red
So wake me
Before I'm gone
Before I'm dead and gone
Somebody wake up
Oh please wake me up
Have I been sleeping all my life?
The time has come
And the sky is turning red
So wake me
Oh before I'm gone, before I'm gone
