Lyrics

[Verse 1]

At the core of the earth

It's too hot to breathe

There's nothing much to eat

And everybody leaves

There's a place in the forest

Where the animals dance

Carefree and joyous

Like nobody's watching

And nobody's watching

[Verse 2]

So they laugh and they dance around mahogany trees

Completely unawares they're gonna end up as meat

And nobody's watching

[Verse 3]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

Cry better next time

[Verse 4]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

[Verse 5]

So, you know me

Understand me

Is that what you think?

You haven't met the monster who wakes up when I drink

I was born out of time

I'm not meant to be here

With the weight of the world

And the weight of a tear

Are exactly the same

[Verse 6]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

Cry better next time

[Verse 7]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

[Verse 8]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

Cry better next time

[Verse 9]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

[Verse 10]

There's a spot in the ocean

And that's where we'll meet

Somewhere far away

Where fish can nibble at our feet

And we can grow fins

Go back in the water

[Verse 11]

Grow fins, go back in the water

Grow fins, go back in the water

Grow fins, go back in the water

[Verse 12]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

Cry better next time

[Verse 13]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

[Verse 14]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

Cry better next time

[Verse 15]

Wake up

Wake up

Try better next time

Wake up

Wake up

[Verse 16]

It's a gas, it's a party

On this planet of flakes

Somebody take a picture

Before it's too late
