bang bang - live at madison square garden - dispatch lyrics

she woke me up with a bang bang
lookin’ over crossed eyed
had a big hunch that the world was a big lie
when i got up all the blood to my head
i got so dizzy fell back into my bed
i went over to the wayside
lookin’ for the high tide
what will i find
will i find
will i find find
all i saw was a man that had a hat that had a pompom
he’s been there for years
can someone tell me how long?

wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not find
wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not

you see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
and i didn’t know it then but she put a spell on me
said i had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
and meet an old man to present my plea
so i headed way down to the big pier
to await and confront my big fear
i wheeled around behind to my blind side
to find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
said “mister, mister, with your beard so long
won’t you be a saint and tell me just where i’m goin'”
he pointed to a conch sh-ll and then to the lime
and said, “this is all i really need to get by”

wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not find
wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not

hey (hey) mister man
i know ya don’t know who ya, think i think i am
but i can safely say
that i shoulda been sleepin’, been sleepin’, been sleepin’
the day away
hey hey

i said excuse me
have you got the time?
he shrugged his shoulders, said “get a spine”
coconut hit me on the head jonesin’ for a fig
“i got booked last night… i need another fix, dig?”

yeah
just then i see a twinkle twinkle in the old man’s eye
and a wave tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
i caught it on the rebound and landed with a soft sound
i took out the message and put the bottle down
inside was an antidote to the spell
and i read it to the man ’cause he couldn’t read so well
said don’t worry about a thing ya know your path is true
just ease your mind have a banana or two
well goodness, goodness woe is me
the man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
but just before we left and started kickin’ it
i picked up the bottle and star sixed it
kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach with a
tune on my lips and my quest in reach
that woman come to see you with her song so sweet
say “d-mn” and let the poor sucker sleep… let him sleep

wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not find
wake up to tell me
wake up to show me what i could not find
