"Wiping away the summer air

you dont wanna see

that's you in that photograph from 1973

and you dont even know me



god only knows I wanna be

the other side of misery

Gimme a plate of Fluorescein

I'm gonna paint an ugly scene

All of the things I wanna say

Can't get a word out anyway

Falling away after today

Nothing to lose so come what may



Don't wake me



You got away from me somehow

And all we tried to be

Everything is different now

The mind's eye fails to see

And all we know is TV



God only knows I wanna be

he other side of misery

Gimme a plate of Fluorescein

I'm gonna paint an ugly scene

All of the things I wanna say

Can't get a word out anyway

Falling away after today

Nothing to lose so come what may



Don't wake me, Dont wake me, Dont wake me

inside I rise above the summer world

inside I rise above the summer



God only knows I wanna be

the other side of misery

Gimme a plate of Fluorescein

I'm gonna paint an ugly scene



Dont wake me



God only knows I wanna be



the other side of misery



Gimme a plate of Fluorescein



I'm gonna paint an ugly scene"
