Awake in a dream with you and me being the stars of the show It's no go until somebody else says so Could somebody please prove to me that I'm alive? Only for a short time can I stay mellow Can I stay eatin', sleepin', sh**tin', beaten fellow Who don't complain about the absolutely mundane noise of the day Here's the day I could've fallen asleep like you all did years ago But the dignity within me would not let me go I'm sick of "Woe is me" - go f** yourself You can take that conversation and stick it on the back of the shelf with the beans Give me my smelling salts - I think I might've died Halfway from here to reality I've got some tricky faults - that's why I wanna live Halfway from here to reality I used to be left of the center - Now the center's to the left of me; up on the right Is a man with a plan dealin' out a scary hand (deck of cards, what have you) I used to be left of the center - Now the center's to the left of me; up on the right Is a man with a plan - watch out for him Can you tell me, does it get any better as we go? Do all the a**holes suddenly march out in a uniform row? I'm sick of "Woe is me" - go f** yourself You can take that conversation and stick it on the back of the shelf with the beans Give me my smelling salts - I think I might've died Halfway from here to reality An extract of brain juice appeared to spit out of my eye Halfway from here to reality
