One of these days gonna lighten my load

get it the car and head down the road

some place that's got more sun than rain

hey, watch me now

i'm bustin' out

gonna do something i can talk about

but right now everything's the same

chorus:

gonna wake up the dead

be here for the living

ain't gonna say i'm sorry

or need to be forgiven

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

ah, gonna rattle all the cages

tear out the pages

make this moment

one for the ages

remember what i said

gonna wake up the dead

yeah, you'll find me sitting on top of the world

my arms around a pretty little girl

you can crown me the king for a change

have money in my pocket

drink in my hand

you'll be my woman

i'll be your man

if i could just get out of bed

chorus:

carmalina, a mexican prize

won by many

in the bars late at night

strange behavior

for our savior

born a stranger to affection

her adolescence fell by the way

like a child actor

she grew up too quickly

moving so swiftly

chorus

alt. verse:

when the rains came

no one was to blame

they wrote it off

as they rolled her way

my fallen angel

i know you meant well

my fallen angel

i know you meant well

my fallen angel

i know you meant well

carmalina

St. Johns Smith Square

i was hammered in vegas

lost in la

you saved me from sarah

oh, thanks, by the way

if it wasn't for london

st. johns smith square

i'd be wandering through

without you

tom was a brother

he was a friend

till he fell into money

went off the deep end

and i watched him sinking

thinking that could be me

without you i'd be wandering through

i'd be wandering through without you

chorus

bridge:

you can say that i live in a dream

going nowhere

circling

but i will show you when i can

get this out of my head

chorus
