"My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake, and they live in a state of constant, total amazement."

Sung:
Debbie dates daily with a boy for every finger
She leaves with one now and leaves another left to linger
Coldly Debbie tells me it's a world of give and take
But I say, Debbie, bring it closer to the wake

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now -
People gotta stop hurting themselves
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!
Listen to me now -
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!

Billy blows bubbles that are filled with marijuana
To rebel from all the troubles he was chained to by his mama
Sadly Billy tells me that his happiness is fake
But I say, Billy, bring it closer to the wake

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now -
People gotta stop hurting themselves
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!
Listen to me now -
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!

Jason jets his Jag up to a speed that's past eleven
Jason buys a house that makes him feel like he's in heaven
Bill's been paying Jason, Bill's friends are Jason's take (at least for now)
But I just talked to Bill, Jason's further from the wake - bring it back!

In today's society, too little anxiety falls in the right place
People hurting each other, no care for another
Can you stand your own face? Listen to me now -
People gotta stop hurting themselves
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!
Listen to me now -
Stop! Now, now, now - bring it closer to the wake!

Now, you and I have been through much and we've both had Debbie's problem
We've both used Billy's eyes to find our troubles and try to solve them
But let's not use each other, for Jason's world was fake
Only we can work together to bring us closer to the wake

Listen to me now, people -
Stop!
Stop!

"It's hard to describe the process. I'm not going to tell you who you are. I don't know who you are. I don't want to know. It's taken me all my life to find out who I am, and I am tired. Now, you're just - "
