lyrics

STAY AWAKE
(Barrett-Ford, DiNunzio)

Comin’ home from my bad day, Tried to bring some cash in
Ladies on my TV screen, Sing the latest fashions
Waitin’ for my band to come, Waited here for hours
My lover says I’m on my way, Bringing wine and flowers
And..

Chorus:
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake
I said
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake

Sitcom stars dressed to kill, Looking sleek and groovy
Pullin’ half a mil a week, They wanna make a movie
I want to watch a Karloff film, Oh look how scary, he’s The Mummy
Waiting for the pizza boy, Lot’s to fill this tummy
And…

Chorus:
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake
I Said
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake

Creepy neighbor at my door, Say’s he’ll do some suein’
His cats in pieces on my lawn, It seems my dog’s been chewin’
I really hated that damn cat, It pee’d and screwed in my yard
To bad he didn’t have nine lives, The neighbor thinks he’ll beat me hard And...

Chorus:
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake
I Said
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake

Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake
I Said
Hope I Stay Awake
Hope I Stay Awake
