[Verse 1]
Terribly sorry it don't quite pass
Found a riverbed
Feeling
Over the counter happy
Under the cosh, I'd say
Found a radio silence
Strangeness breathing
Saccharine party, baby
Laughing and ha-hoorah!
Well, what's a riverbed sleep?
Coveting, cheating

[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out

[Verse 2]
Terribly sorry I'm not quite right
Point fiddler
Reed riddler
Saccharine party, baby
Laughing and ha-hoorah!
Well, that's a riverbed sleep
What's this feeling?
And they'll murder me
If I come back winning
Yeah, they'll murder me
[Chorus]
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, arms around you
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
When I wake up, I'm a long way out
What's the mercy? Now I found it out
What's the mercy? Now I found it out

[Outro]
I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
I'm aware of the allegory, yes it's plain
I'm aware of the allegory, it's a fix this game
Yes it's plain
It's a fix this game
