Of all the foolish things to do
I became a connoisseur of great excuse
And my pessimistic past the blame
Will never make this go away
Of all the foolish things Ive said
That keep me sleepy almost dead
Im sorry if Ive let you down
My eyes were closed, theyre open now
I'm waking up
I am waking up
I am waking up
I awake
And this has all been said before
Ive listened but then I ignored
My ears grew deaf, My head gave up
The junkie knows not when to stop
Of all the foolish alibis
The constipated push for why
Ive had a blanket pulled over my eyes
Oh hush now baby dont you cry
I'm waking up
I am waking up
I am waking up
I awake
I'm waking up
Coming I am waking up
I'm ready I am waking up
I awake
Dada da da da daaa
