Lyrics

The Awakening

[Verse 1]

I wake up in the basement

I'm so hungry, I'm dry

I must be here sleepwalking

Mustn't I?

[Verse 2]

Getting up from my easy chair looking for my wife

Following a trail of crimson

Spots that lead into the night

Suddenly I realize

I see it all through real eyes

These crimson spots are dripping from my hand

[Outro]

And ooh it makes me feel like a man
