Come on, come on play the Goddamn music
I know we fell apart a while ago
And no, not everyone’s all right
Walking bare-a**ed down the hallway
Is hard enough at night
And you, don’t you want to do nothing?
And hey, didn’t you say something’s missing?
You have a stone cold picture of a girlfriend
And a celibate wife
You are in no shape to argue
But you’re ready for a fight
Come on, come on wake me up, I’m sleeping
And you, don’t you want to do nothing?
Hey, didn’t you say something’s missing?
What you want’s not what you need
It haunts you night and day
I’ll see you on the light side
Of the darkness we are so scared of
I’ll do the math for you
I keep it back for you
But what you chase at night
Will haunt you in the day, you want it to
Come on, come on play the wounded hero
I’m hoping I’ll grow sleepy and dim
One more somnambulist year
Riding tethered to a hero
And rescuing him
And you, don’t you want to do nothing?
Hey, didn’t you say something’s missing?
