Wake me up

Wake me up

I'm walking through a dream

I'm walking through the finest place I've ever seen

Hey man, won't you wake me up?

Said: Hey man, won't you wake me up?

I'm walking through the fire

Defiant on the wire, burning up my desire

Hey man, won't you come, come give me a gun?

Help me blow the lights right out of the Sun

So won't you tell me if I'm dreamin' it? (oh no)

I need to know just where I stand (oh no)

But it turns out my hands are useless (oh no)

But maybe I'm a bеtter man (oh no)

Said: Wake me up

Said: Wakе me up

Said: Wake me up

I'm dancing on the screens

I'm dancing in the mountains where I've always been

Hey man, won't you wake me up?

Said: Hey man, won't you wake me up?

I'm kicking down the doors

I'm climbing up the walls of the house that's yours

Hey man, won't you come, come give me a gun?

Help me blow the lights right out of the Sun

So won't you tell me if I'm dreamin’ it? (oh no)

I need to know just where I stand (oh no)

But it turns out my hands are useless (oh no)

But maybe I'm a better man? (oh no)

Said: Wake me up

Said: Wakе me up

Said: Wake me up

We're dancin' on the serpents

I'm dancin' on the coals

Deny your own expression, you deny the things you know

I'm livin' through the ages

I'm dancing on the tiles

Won't commit to any handshakes

Or believe a Duchenne smile

I'm burning all my bridges

I'm pulling up the ropes

Deleting all the codes

No, I'm not that man you know

You walk into a trap

Then you walk into your youth

You're living all that life with a pair of dusty boots

So would you tell me I'm dreamin' it? (oh no)

I need to know just where I stand (oh no)

Well it turns out my hands are useless (oh no)

But maybe I'm a better man (oh no)

So would you tell me I'm dreamin' it? (oh no)

I need to know just where I stand (oh no)

Well it turns out my hands are useless (oh no)

But maybe I'm a better man (oh no)

So would you tell me I'm dreamin' it? (oh no)

I need to know just where I stand (oh no)

Well it turns out my hands are useless (oh no)

But maybe I'm a better man (oh no)

Said: Wake me up

Said: Wakе me up
