Leonard Cohen - When You Wake Up lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - When You Wake Up lyrics]
When you wake up into the panic
And the tulips from Ralph's
Have almost had it
Why don't you change the water
And cut the stems
Maybe find a vase a little taller
To help them stand up straight?
When you wake up into the panic
And the Devil's almost got you
To throw yourself off the cliffs of religion
Why don't you lie down
In front of the ferocious traffic
Of your daily life
And get creamed by some of the details?
And the tulips from Ralph's
Have almost had it
Why don't you change the water
And cut the stems
Maybe find a vase a little taller
To help them stand up straight?
When you wake up into the panic
And the Devil's almost got you
To throw yourself off the cliffs of religion
Why don't you lie down
In front of the ferocious traffic
Of your daily life
And get creamed by some of the details?
