"Alive And Awake" lyrics
Sushi Soucy & January Eyler Lyrics
(from "Rockabye" soundtrack)
Everyone rolls out of bed and begrudgingly
Dons all their working attire
Everyone walks several blocks to the coffee shop
To desperately buy and acquire
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
Hey, so how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
Everyone hates all the coffee you make and they
Guzzle it down with great haste
They water the drink down with sugar and cream so that
They can ignore the real taste
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
So how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
All the people will snatch their cup from the countertop
While I wait for my life to begin
Though my customer service smile I can't seem to drop
You can feel my disappointment
Oh, I can't keep waiting
For my big break
My bidding patience
Is now at stake
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
So how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
To keep you alive and awake?
Dons all their working attire
Everyone walks several blocks to the coffee shop
To desperately buy and acquire
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
Hey, so how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
Everyone hates all the coffee you make and they
Guzzle it down with great haste
They water the drink down with sugar and cream so that
They can ignore the real taste
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
So how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
All the people will snatch their cup from the countertop
While I wait for my life to begin
Though my customer service smile I can't seem to drop
You can feel my disappointment
Oh, I can't keep waiting
For my big break
My bidding patience
Is now at stake
The light will extend from the front past the doors
The drowsy will drink like a dog from the floors
And everyone's secretly wishing for more
So how many drinks will it take
To keep you alive and awake?
To keep you alive and awake?
