You Woke Me Up

I was looking through a window I was just about ready to
Jump out of
When I saw you, my love
Oh, you woke me up
I was circling a drain that had my name on it
I was going down
And then you came around
Oh, you woke me up
I was a sleepwalkin', slow talkin', going nowhere, I ain't joking
Puppy 'till you woke me up.
You woke me up

And if I could have three wishes
You and me'd go out and drink like fishes
And dance like dervishes on spinnin' tops
And have so much fun they'd have to call the cops
And before our time was through
I'd spend the rest of my life in one night, in those eyes, w/you .........
Oh you woke me up

I was going through the motions, I was spinning my wheels
Yeah I was stuck in third, until you said the word
You woke me up.
I was shuttered shut and shattered
It was just like nothing mattered, yeah I had had enough
Until you showed me love
You woke me up

(from the CD "Boy Genius Alert")
