0:15Waking up waking up waking up
0:18Waking up the road to joy
0:41So as swollen skies
0:44Look for anchors look for tides
0:51Sharp sounds swim around
0:54Soaking into the brittle ground
1:01Been so many days been held inside this body
1:07Been so many days and there's nothing to do
1:12Been so many days and you're throbbing at the darkness
1:17Been so many days I've been waiting for you
1:21Back in the world
1:24Waking up the road to joy
1:48Love calls through the walls
1:50Wants the earth wherever it falls
1:58Life's form won't calm you down
2:00Going in for another round
2:08This is how it goes I've been listening to the voices
2:13This is how it goes you were sure I was gone
2:18This is how it goes in a state of meditation
2:23This is how it goes I've been waiting for you
2:27Back in the world
2:31Waking up the road to joy
2:38Back in the world
2:41Walking down the road to joy
3:04The engine stops and silence pours
3:07Fills the holes and cracks don't fuse
3:10Young and old girl and boy
3:12Dance along the road to joy
3:15Picture sharpens in your head
3:17Opens up when it's been read
3:19All the things you strain to see
3:22Come move on in come to me
3:40Show your eyes show your teeth
3:42That's the way to build belief
3:50Touch my hair touch my knee
3:53You can wake up every part of me
4:01Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny
4:06Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes
4:11Get the blood to flow flowing all around me
4:16Get the blood to flow with the life in my soul
4:20Back in the world
4:24Walking down the road to joy
4:46Just when you think it can't get worse
4:49The mind reveals the universe
4:52Opens up a distant star
4:54It gives you straight just who you are
4:57I'm more a dog you're more a cat
4:59Then we're getting bored of that
5:02Alive again upon a snake
5:04Then we jump into the lake
Waking up waking up waking up Waking up the road to joy So as swollen skies Look for anchors look for tides Sharp sounds swim around Soaking into the brittle ground Been so many days been held inside this body Been so many days and there's nothing to do Been so many days and you're throbbing at the darkness Been so many days I've been waiting for you Back in the world Waking up the road to joy Love calls through the walls Wants the earth wherever it falls Life's form won't calm you down Going in for another round This is how it goes I've been listening to the voices This is how it goes you were sure I was gone This is how it goes in a state of meditation This is how it goes I've been waiting for you Back in the world Waking up the road to joy Back in the world Walking down the road to joy The engine stops and silence pours Fills the holes and cracks don't fuse Young and old girl and boy Dance along the road to joy Picture sharpens in your head Opens up when it's been read All the things you strain to see Come move on in come to me Show your eyes show your teeth That's the way to build belief Touch my hair touch my knee You can wake up every part of me Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes Get the blood to flow flowing all around me Get the blood to flow with the life in my soul Back in the world Walking down the road to joy Just when you think it can't get worse The mind reveals the universe Opens up a distant star It gives you straight just who you are I'm more a dog you're more a cat Then we're getting bored of that Alive again upon a snake Then we jump into the lake
