[Pre-song chatter]
Wow man, I've been thinking that for many many years, and a man finally says it, you know?!
But, he goes "My stupid mouth has got me into trouble again," which has happened to me... [?]
[Verse 1]
There's flies buzzing round me
I'm begging for a breeze
The grass that surrounds me
Is so high that I can't see
There's something out there watching me
And I can't find no peace
If it catches up with me
It's gonna kill me by degrees
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no. Oh no
[Chorus]
Stand up, Stand up
Wake up, wake up
Stand up, Stand up
Wake up
[Verse 2]
The sun's sinking fast now
And the night is moving in
I've got to find a place
Where I know I won't be seen
If you're out there can't you help me
Because I try but I can't scream
And I know that it's not real
But I can't break out of this dream
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
This song is for the people
Living this dream
Their minds twisted
In an endless scream
Walking through a graveyard
The wind howling through the trees
You gotta wake up soon
Or life will pass by like a breeze
[Pre-Chorus]
[Alt-Chorus]
What's it gonna take to make you realize?
You're killing yourself, I've seen it in your eyes
