Waking Up Dead

[Verse 1]
Woke up on the wrong side, atrophied throughout
Dreamt with open eyes, I was vacuuming about
In a straight line
A very straight line

[Verse 2]
Each new morning I awake with clouds around my bed
Gut the walls and pipes, then vacuum out my head
In a straight mind
A very straight mind

[Chorus]
Oh, vacu-uming (Waking up dead)
Oh, vacu-uming (Waking up dead)

[Verse 3]
In the kitchen stands a man in a backlit halo glow
Wears a darkened smile, is there something I should know?
Something all-consuming
All-consuming

[Chorus]
Oh, vacu-uming (Waking up dead, wakin' up dead)
From above, vacu-uming (Wakin' up dead) Wakin' up dead

[Bridge 1]
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, noon, I squint my eyes
You peak inside my empty shell, a memory in disguise

[Bridge 2]
The tree outside is upside down, and my 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

[Bridge 3]
In trouble when I put my foot down and try to have a voice (I'm presuming)
In trouble when I kindly back down and let you have your choice
My soul was sucked out in the ether just about half past nine (The end is looming)
My carcass went out drinkin' at closing time

[Chorus]
Oh, vacu-uming (Wakin' up dead, wakin' up dead)
Oh, vacu-uming (I've been wakin' up dead, wakin' up dead)
Oh, vacu-uming (Wakin' up dead, wakin' up dead)
Oh, vacu-uming (Been wakin' up dead)
