Lyrics
I Was Asleep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I walk up on a cold basement ground
Ghost days leave me alone
You're not part of the medicine plan
They said it's hard to explain
And it's harder to understand
I said whatever happen then
I was asleep
I was walking in the park
When all the streets lights went out
And all looks so down
I freaked out on a cold doctor's couch
The engineers on the run
Telling me not to scream
They said: It's bad to complain when all the city burns in vain
They said whatever happened then
I was asleep
I was walking in the park
When all the streets lights went out
And all the units went dark
I was walking in the park
When all the streets lights went out
And all the units went dark
