[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
Had a crazy dream
Got married in a black dress
What the hell's that mean?
There was a faceless lady
Telling me who to be
What to wear, how to act
And you know that just ain't me
[Pre-Chorus]
Jumped outta my bed
Pulled up the blinds
What a way to wake up
Lord knows that was a sign
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's coming back
I put my train back on it's track
Stop my engine, blow my steam
Gonna use what I got to get what I need
Just want something real
That I know I can feel
Get down to the deeper me
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, hey
[Verse 2]
For 43 days, I've been in a funk
For 42 nights, my ship been sunk (Yeah)
These Brooklyn grays
And Manhattan blues
Mix them together
That's the color of paying your dues
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes the sun
Shines just enough
To get you through the hard times
And you know I had a lot
I said
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's coming back
I put my train back on it's track
Stop my engine, blow my steam
Gonna use what I got to get what I need
Just want something real
That I know I can feel
Get down to the deeper me
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
[Chorus]
And oh, what I need
Is something for my soul to feed
And I won't take my breath away
I owe it to myself
Not to waste another day, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, hey, oh, yeah, oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah it's coming back
I put my train back on it's track
I just want something real
That I know I can feel
Oh yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's coming back
I put my train back on it's track (Stop my engine, blow my steam)
I'm going to use what I got to get what I need
Just want something real
That I know I can feel
Get down to the deeper me
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
Oh, yeah, it's coming back
I put my train back on it's track
Stop my engine, blow my steam
Gonna use what I got to get what I need
Just want something real
That I know I can feel
Get down to the deeper me
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
[Outro]
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
