Wake up, wake up my little dark eyes!
Break the spell, come into the light
Demons got you in your sleep
Feeding you lies

And "here I am, beside you, dear"
He said through eyes of blue
"but we've yet to cross the vastest desert
So let's rise now, while the air is cool"

"the desert?" I said, through eyes of brown
"must we go? I'm a-diggin' this dawn!
You see I've crossed them all, no matter how big or small
Now I want to lay my bindle down"

"woman", he said, "just look at those legs
Your limbs are long and strong
You've had adequate rest, now take this here test
And we'll see if you're all right or all wrong
You've had adequate rest, now take this here test
And we'll see if you're all right or all wrong!"

"I don't know about no test...
Not now when I'm open to my loamy depths!
Old air blowin' out the cracks
And that last test nearly broke my back."

Hey! I'm afraid this man is all wrong
I'm afraid this man is alright
What now to do, but stay up all night
Chasing ghosts that fade in the light?
What now to do, but stay up all night
Chasing words that fade in the light?
