Woke up this morning

Had a crazy dream

Got married in a black dress

What the hell's that mean

There was a faceless lady

Telling me who to be

What to wear

How to act

And you know that just ain't me

Jumped outta my bed

Pulled up the blinds

What a way to wake up

Lord knows that was a sign



(Chorus)

Ooo, yeah it's coming back

I put my train back on its track

Stop my engine

Blow my steam

Gonna use what I got to get what I need

Just want something real

That I know I can feel

Get down to the deeper me

Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah



Yeah, yeah, yeah...



For 43 days

I've been in a funk

For 42 nights

My ship been sunk (yeah)

These Brooklyn graves

And Manhattan blues

Mix them together

That's the color of paying your dues

Sometimes the sun

Shines just enough

To get you through the hard times

And you know I had a lot

I said...



(Repeat chorus)



And oh, what I need

Is something for my soul to feed

And I won't take my breath away

I owe it to myself

Not to waste another day, yeah



Oh, hey, oh, yeah, oh, ooo, yeah, yeah...



Oh, yeah it's coming back

I put my train back on its track

I just want something real

That I know I can feel



Oh yeah, yeah...



Oh, yeah it's coming back

I put my train back on its track (stop my engine, blow my steam)

I'm going to use what I got to get what I need

Just want something real

That I know I can feel

Get down to the deeper me

Gonna use what I got to get what I need, oh yeah...(Chorus in background)



Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah (repeat 2 times)
