Waking Up Dead Lyrics - 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
