Waking Up Dead
Phish

[Verse 1: Mike Gordon]

Woke up on the wrong side

Atrophied thoughout

Dreamt with open eyes

I was vaccuuming about


In a straight line

A very straight line

[Verse 2]

Each new morning I wake

With clouds around my head

Lift up the walls and pipes

And vaccuum out my head


In a straight line

A very straight line


[Chorus]

Ooooh Vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

Ooooh Vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

Waking up dead


[Verse 3]

In addition stands a man

In a backlit halo glow

Wears a darkened smile

Is there something I should know?


Something all consuming

All consuming


[Chorus 2]

Ooooh Vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

From above

Vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead


[Bridge]

I feel the suction rev

As I waltz the vacuum arm

End to end it sucks itself

And pulls me with its charm


Morning in a vortex

And when I squint my eyes

You peek inside my empty shell

A memory in disguise


Tree outside is upside down

Head hangs off the bed

They say I'm just a pair of lungs

Connected by a thread


I'm presuming

The end is looming


In trouble when I put my foot down

Try to have a voice

In trouble when I climb back down

Let you have your choice


My soul got sucked out in the ether

Just about half past nine

My cars went out drinking in closing time (?)


[Chorus]

Vac-you you me

Vac-you-you me

Ooooh Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Waking up dead

Ooooh Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Waking up dead
