Bang Bang

Come on, Braggie Alright, we need to hear your voices on this one, come on Yeah, she woke me up with a bang, bang Lookin' over cross eyed I had a big hunch that the world was a big lie When I got up, all the blood to my head Got so dizzy fell back into my bed I went over to the way side Lookin' for the high tide What will I find, will I find, will I find-find? All I saw was a man that had a hat That had a pom-pom, he's been there for years Can someone tell me how long? Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find Wake up to tell me C'mon wake up Wake up to show me what I could not You see this woman woke me up at a quarter 'til three And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea And meet an old man to present my plea So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier) To await and confront my big fear (big fear) I wheeled around behind to my blindside To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye I said "Mister, mister, with your beard so long Won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm goin'" He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime Said, "This is all I really need to get by" Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find Wake up to tell me C'mon wake up Wake up to show me what I could not I said, "Hey, (hey) mister man I know you don't know who you think I Think I am But I can safely say, that I shoulda been sleepin' Been sleepin', been sleepin', been sleepin' The day away" Hey, hey Aw, let's hear you all from the grass where we used to hang out Hey, hey Bein' down here is like, I never dreamed of being in One of these seats, it was always the grass, it was always the lawn Jumpin' the fence in high school Gettin' chased down by security and just tryin' to run into the The biggest crowd of people you could find This here's Matt Embree on the guitar Ooh-hoo, oh-ho Ooh-hoo, oh-ho Ooh-hoo, oh-ho Ooh-hoo, oh-ho I laid out from Reno, I was Trailed by twenty hounds I didn't get to sleep that night Till the morning came around I set out runnin' gonna take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight Got a wife in Chino, baby Got one in Cherokee First one says she got my child But it don't look like me I set out runnin' gonna take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight I said, "E'scuse me, have you got the time" He shrugged his shoulders said, "Get a spine" Coconut hit me on the head, jonesin' for a fig I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig? Well, just then I see a twinkle, twinkle in the old man's eye And a wave-tossed bottle is thrown to the sky I caught it on the rebound, it landed with a soft sound I took out the message and put the bottle down Inside was the antidote to the spell (ooh) And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well Said "Don't worry about a thing, ya know your path is true Just ease your mind have a banana (or two)" Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free But just before we left and started kickin' it I picked up the bottle and (star-sixed it) Kick-kick, shuffle-shuffle back to the beach With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach If that woman come to you with her song so sweet Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep Ah, let's hear it now, Boston Wake up to tell me C'mon, a-keep it goin' now (Wake up to show me what I could not find) Wake up to tell me C'mon wake up Wake up to show me what I could not find So, if you guys wouldn't mind, um I have a six-week-old baby girl and she's watching this show In Idaho along with our family, so Let's give Vera Corrigan a warm welcome tonight as she sleeps As, as you hope she sleeps As we hope she sleeps, Lisa, I hope she's sleepin', babe
