I had just died and I didn't much mind In the basement in my place Where I fell hit the floor into my face And I bled from every place until I died Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency Out like a light and I came back alive And I heard this lady cry And I said, I believe to her surprise What I said just made her leave and then I died "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" An emergency An emergency "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" An emergency An emergency I had just died and I don't think I knew It kind of sneaks up on you Then you're gone and there's nothing you can do
You should have done more with yourself before you died I had just died and this woman shakes me Like she shakes me every time "I'm down here" And she speaks into my eyes And I look past her and smile And then she pleads me And I say "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" An emergency An emergency "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" An emergency An emergency And all the time she waits for me to wake But in the end, she knows I'd never bend I should stop before I break Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency
