Wake Up - Josh Woodward

Mr. O’Leary is combing his hair

And he’s swirling it into a knot

The mirror is laughing at Mr. O’Leary

Cuz it knows he’s someone he’s not

Walking away from that painted reflection

To do something else he forgot

And now he’s walking around with that stupid expression

While his memory asks him, well, what was the question?

And follows the blind while he’s trying to find

All the things he’s not sure that he missed

Wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up We sleep when we’re walking, we never stop talking

Wake up, wake up, wake up Mrs. Jones stands at the station

She waits for a train that don’t run anymore

She’s paid up her fare for a ticket to nowhere

And thinks that she’s been there before

Broken dreams weigh on her mind like the water

That’s spilling the sand on the shore

And she’s clicking her heels and she’s looking for Toto

While she stands with her dress dragging in the grey snow

And she wants what she doesn’t have, has what she doesn’t want

And she wants the world to know it

(Chorus)

Johnny McGee’s making love to TV

And his stamina’s really impressive

It’s always turned on, all night until dawn

And plays reruns when he gets aggressive

Johnny’s afraid that he’ll worry about

All the problems that he doesn’t have

Because his life is so boring and he’s always snoring

While earth is revolving and it’s not worth exploring

And the faces on TV all say who he should be But nobody knows who he is

(Chorus)
