Phish - Waking Up Dead lyrics

[Phish - Waking Up Dead lyrics]

Woke up on the wrong side
Atrophied throughout dreamt with open eyes
I was vacuuming about in a straight line
A very straight line

Each new morning I awake
With clouds around my bed
Gut the walls and pipes
Then vacuum out my head in a straight mind
A very straight mind

Ooh, vacu-uming waking up dead
Ooh, vacu-uming waking up dead

In the kitchen stands a man
In a backlit halo glow
Wears a darkened smile
Is there something I should know?
Something all consuming all consuming
Ooh, vacu-uming waking up dead
From above, vacu-uming waking up dead

I feel the suction rev
As I waltz the vacuum arm
End to end it sucks it'self
And pulls me with it's charm
Morning in a vortex noon I squint my eyes
You peak inside my empty shell
A memory in disguise

The tree outside is upside down
My head hangs off the bed
They say I’m just a pair of lungs
Connected by a thread

I’m presuming, the end is looming

In trouble when I put my foot down
And try to have a voice
In trouble when I kindly back down
And let you have your choice
My soul was sucked out in the ether
Just about half past nine
My carcass went out drinkin’ at closing time
