Road To Joy Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - Bright Eyes

The sun came up with no conclusions 

Flowers sleeping in their beds 

The city's cemetery's humming 

I'm wide awake, it's morning 

And I have my drugs, I have my woman 

They keep away my loneliness 

My parents, they have their religion 

But sleep in separate houses 

I read the body count out of the paper 

And now it's written all over my face 

No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter 

Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place 

So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing 

Everyday I'm on the clock 

My mind races with all my longings 

But can't keep up with what I got 

So I hope I don't sound too ungrateful 

What history gave modern men 

A telephone to talk to strangers 

Machine guns and a camera lens 

So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing 

It's best to join the side that's gonna win 

And no one's sure how all of this got started 

But we're gonna make 'em goddamn certain how it's gonna end 

Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will 

Well I could have been a famous singer 

If I had someone else's voice 

But failures always sounded better 

Let's fuck it up, boys, make some noise 

The sun came up with no conclusions 

Flowers sleeping in their beds 

The city's cemetery's humming 

I'm wide awake, it's morning
