Bang Bang

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking over cross eyed; Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie When I got up, all the blood to my head I got so dizzy fell back into my bed I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide What will I find, will I find, will I find find All I saw was a man that had a hat That had a pom-pom, he's been there for years Can someone tell me how long [Chorus] Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me What I could not find [Verse 2] You see this woman woke me up at a quarter 'til three And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea And meet an old man to present my plea So I headed way down to the big pier To await and confront my big fear I wheeled around behind to my blindside To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye Said "Mister, mister, with your beard so long Won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm going" He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime And said, "This is all I really need to get by" [Chorus] Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find [Bridge] Hey, hey mister man I know you don't know who you think I Think I am But I can safely say, that I Should've been sleeping, been sleeping Been sleeping, been sleeping the day away Hey, hey [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I said "'Scuse me, have you got the time" He shrugged his shoulders said, "Get a spine" Coconut hit me on the head, jonesin' for a fig I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig? Yeah, just then I see a twinkle, twinkle in the old man's eye And a wave-tossed bottle is thrown to the sky I caught it on the rebound, it landed with a soft sound I took out the message and put the bottle down Inside was the antidote to the spell And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well Said "Don't worry about a thing, ya know your path is true Just ease your mind have a banana or two" Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free But just before we left and started kicking it I picked up the bottle and star-sixed it Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep Let him sleep [Chorus] Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find Wake up to tell me Wake up to show me what I could not find
