Wake Up Crying
Phil Lee – Grim Reminder Music BMI
(You came…)
You were selling rainbows of beat
from the boot of a blue limousine
Yeah you looked through my soul like
you knew me before I had been
Your headdress of diamonds and jade,
babe it still shines
So why do I keep waking up crying?
Why do I keep waking up crying?
Your belly is as hard and as flat as
the neck of a mule
Your tongue is like a razor blade,
sharp, it’s never so cruel
You’re much way too cute in that mohair suit,
I ain’t lying
chorus
For many long years on the trail of
the old lonesome pine
I don’t know what that means but
since we reconvened I’ve gone blind
Yes I went to my doctor, my doctor said
“son, you’re just fine”
chorus
You told me you loved me, that you would
until I was dead
Up in Heaven, hell it didn’t matter to you none either which way that I head
So I say “Satan, hey God, better back off boys,
this one here’s mine”
chorus
