i'm wide awake it's morning

bright eyes - i'm wide awake it's morning

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

and i read the body count out of the paper
and now its written all over my face
see 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
every day i�m on the clock
my mind races with all my longing
i cant keep up with what i got

and 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
its 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 goddamned certain how its gonna end
yeah we will yeah we will

well i could have been a famous singer
if i had someone else�s voice
but failure�s 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 cemetary�s humming
i�m wide awake it's morning
