By The Time That I Awoke

I like the powder blue dresses

stewardesses wear on Korean Air

the skins too wine, and the body so fine.

All the same height, and they have the same waist line

But there is one who stood upon

an emtag* way, changed par...

she had a white watch and muted spot*

I thought about her when the night grew dark.

In my hotel room in Tokyo

and by the time that I awoke

my guitar was broken and in need of repair

thanks through the hassles, Korean Air

but i roomed* myself a one last show

and i made a few friends, Choco and Coco

walking down near the train station below

hugged them good-bye as I walked back eye*

Remember the girl who i had la... ched*

grew up in a cardboard box

and the town calmed dormin / down in.

she shooked* my spirit, and she read on my thoughts

but I had some lump* back home

so I never pursuit her and recorded telephone

I wondered if she knew if I ...

I wondered if she thought that I had used her

and by the time that I awoke

around my neck the fellow finger's stroke

I felt a j... off and an electrical sting,

I felt the pull-off, an invisible string.

Is it my future falling?

Or is it the past to call in?

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

Anything that hurts makes me shiver.

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

My dirty reflection shimmered in the rain.

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

All forgotten blues be open my heart.

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

I was five years old the last time I slept,

a quiet night before the loudness quit*

I wrote poetry throughout my teens

and I forsee* that my childhood dreams.

Teachers told me I couldn't write

they* are never make a living when I touch anyones right.

People told me I couldn't sing

that I wouldn't mount* much of anything

And by the time that I awoke

I was 25 years old and crossing an ocean

working hard to develop my sound

homecity sick*, covered in ground

And by the time that I had awoken

I was one of a handful of the chosen*

to take upon* just to take the arrows*

to b... to blood us ...?

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember

Any useful words that I had ...

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember

When I was alone, flocked* desperate

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember

when I couldn't trap womblebee* (bumblebee)

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember

when I am in a crowd, I am so lonely.

I met the most beautiful lump*

walking along San-Francisco Bay*

She gasped* me through the pillows*

through the long unlit hall ways*

Below the surface beneath the distractions

beneath my dummy* jerk reactions

it's to her I owe everything

it is for her that my heart sings

and by the time that I awoke

finger's loose and on their ...

and by the time that I awoke
