Woke up this mornin' at 11:11 Wasn't in Portland and I wasn't in heaven Could have been either by the way I was feelin' But I was alive I was alive Woke up this mornin' at 11:11 John was half-naked and Lulu was cryin' Over a baby that will never go crazy But I was alive And kickin' through this cruel world Holdin' a notion of you at 11:11 Tell me what else can I do What else can I do? Woke up this mornin' and somethin' was burnin' Realized that everythin' really does happen in Manhattan Thoughts were of characters and afternoons lyin' And you You were alive Oh the hours we are separate 11:11 is just precious time we've wasted So patch up your bleedin' hearts And put away your posies I'm gonna have a drink Before we ring around the rosies with you Oh the hours we are separate Oh the hours we are separate 11:11
