I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

If you hate the taste of wine 
Why do you drink it until you’re blind? 
And if you swear that there’s no truth and who cares 
How come you say it like you’re right? 
Why are you scared to dream of god 
When it’s salvation that you want? 
You see stars that clear have been dead for years 
But the idea just lives on 


In our wheels that roll around 
As we move over the ground 
And all day it seems we’ve been 
in between the past and future town 


We are nowhere, and it’s now 
We are nowhere, and it’s now 
You took a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat 
While the world it was flying by 
I haven’t been gone very long 
But it feels like a lifetime 


I’ve been sleeping so strange at night 
Side effects they don’t advertise 
I’ve been sleeping so strange 
With a head full of pesticide 


I got no plans and too much time 
I feel to restless to unwind 
I’m always lost in thought 
As I walk a block to my favourite neon sign 
Where the waitress looks concerned 
But she never says a word 
Just turns the jukebox on 
And we hum along 
And I smile back at her 


And my friend comes after work 
When the features start to blur 
She says these bars are filled with things that kill 
And you probably should have learned 


Did you forget that yellow bird? 
How could you forget that yellow bird? 


She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me 
She said this one will bring you love 
I don’t know if it’s true but I keep it for good luck
