Waking Up Dead

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 --- Waking Up Dead - Phish
