Wake Me Up

I love flying the night
Underneath every star above
Guess who I might meet
With such a push and a shove

No radar installed at the tower
The clouds hung in mid-air
The radio transmitter hardly worked
Another plane they were unaware

I was just a co-pilot
On a co-mission
A hundred counts for manslaughter
Don't send me to prison

Wake me up
From this awful nightmare
Wake me up
From this public affair
Wake me up
What more could I have done
Wake me up
Let me see the rising sun

The runway is long
Yеt something seemed evеr so nearer
A collision imminent
Could not have ever been clearer

Despite the screams and cries
Somehow some of us survived
It was like hellfire on Earth
Taking for all it was worth

I was just a co-pilot
On a co-mission
A hundred counts for manslaughter
Don't send me to prison

Wake me up
From this awful nightmare
Wake me up
From this public affair
Wake me up
What more could I have done
Wake me up
Let me see the rising sun
Wake me up

Wake me up
From this awful nightmare
Wake me up
From this public affair
Wake me up
What more could I have done
Wake me up
Let me see the rising sun
