Wake Me Up (feat. The Roots) - Elvis Costello I've got this phosphorescent portrait of gentle Jesus meek and mild I've got this harlot that I'm stuck with carrying another man's child
The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out as we arrived
They'd throw us back across the border if they knew that we survived
And they were surprised to see us
So they greeted us with palms
They asked for ammunition acts of contrition and small alms
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up With a slap or a kiss
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up
There must be something better than this
I've got this imaginary radio and I'm punching up the dial I've got the A.C. trained on the T.V. so it won't blow up in my eye
And everything that I thought fanciful or mocked as too extreme Must be family entertainment here in the strange land of my dreams And I'm practising my likeness of St. Francis of Assisi And if I hold my hand outstretched A little bird comes to me
And I might recite a small prayer If I ever said them I lay down on an iron frame And found myself in Bedlam Stepping on the fingers that were stretching through the bars
Wailing echoes down the corridors
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up
With a slap or a kiss
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up There must be something better than this
They've got this scared and decorated girl strapped to the steel trunk of a Mustang They drove her down a cypress grove where traitors hang and stars still spangle They dangled flags and other rags along a coloured thread of twine They dragged that bruised and purple heart along the road to Palestine
Someone went off muttering he mentioned thirty pieces
Easter saw a slaughtering
each wrapped in bloodstained fleeces
My thoughts returned to vengeance
but I put up no resistance
Though I seemed a long way from my home
It really was no distance
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up
With a slap or a kiss
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up
There must be something better than this
And the player piano picks out "Life Goes On" The Ringtone rang out "Jerusalem"
Into the pit of sadness Where the wretched plunge We've buried all the Innocents We must bury revenge
Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me upwake me up
There must be something better than this
There must be something better than this There must be something better than this
In the name of the Father and the Son In the name of Gasoline and a Gun Wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up wake me up
