Waking Up Dead - Phish

Woke up on the wrong side

Atrophied throughout

Dreamt with open eyes

I was vacuuming about

In a straight line

A very straight line

Each new morning I wake

With clouds around my head

Lift up the walls and pipes

And vacuum out my head

In a straight line

A very straight line

Ooooh, vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

Ooooh, vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

In addition stands a man

In a backlit halo glow

Wears a darkened smile

Is there something I should know?

Something all consuming

All consuming

Ooooh, vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

From above

vac-you-you-me

Waking up dead

I feel the suction rev

As I waltz the vacuum arm

End to end it sucks itself

And pulls me with its charm

Morning in a vortex

And when I squint my eyes

You peek inside my empty shell

A memory in disguise

Tree outside is upside down

Head hangs off the bed

They say I’m just a pair of lungs

Connected by a thread

I’m presuming

The end is looming

In trouble when I put my foot down

Try to have a voice

In trouble when I climb back down

Let you have your choice

My soul got sucked out in the ether

Just about half past nine

My cars went out drinking in closing time

Vac-you you me

Vac-you-you me

Ooooh Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Waking up dead

Ooooh Vac-you-you me

Waking up dead

Waking up dead
