Lyrics
Well, the times get tough and you thought you had enough
When the stall of your free-fall decides to call your bluff
And all of your resolve might dissolve into your cups
We will never wake you up, we will never wake you up
This season of our discontent, has given way to torment
All the straits that you were born in, disappeared without a warning
And simple evolution isn't working as a solution
We will never wake you up in the morning
Metaphorically inclined towards crossing over state lines
You drifted down upon the destinations you were inclined
Until you lost all sight of your place in the design
Your alarm clock is ringing at your bedside
You drift into narcotic splendor of your never-ending bender
Eyes glazed but somehow smiling like a haze across the skyline
You down another glass then drift off from our grasp
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning
And the heaven that awaits you is a bar that never closes
And a line across the toilet tank for everybody's noses
With a tab that's as open as the arms of your hostess
As she gives a brief salvation upon you
As she gives a brief salvation upon you
Buenas noches, sweet prince behind the eight ball and your rent
Eviction notice on your door and all your money spent
Hearts broken by your actions, but you had the best intentions
There were bottles in your bedroom and nothing in the kitchen
And the last time we ever saw you
You were clinging to the bar room
Days on end we tried to call you
Bells were ringing, tears were falling
The door was opened by the cops but you were up above the treetops
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning
We will never wake you up in the morning
