Robert Palmer - Woke Up Laughing 79/89 lyrics

I was waiting for you, I sat in the sun I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue I woke up laughing I broke into a sweat, I broke into a run You were hot on my heels so I hired a gun I woke up laughing I was flat on my back, I was taking a plunge I was making a stand but my plan was undone I woke up laughing Well I planned an escape for the middle of June But I drug too fast and I fired too soon I woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong Take a small vacation just to keep sane You find on your return your home has blown away You meditate, you make haste You run a risk, you come late You pay a bill, you lose face You're not fully unaware Are you a star or are you a fake? If you fall do you break? You go to war, you make love You sign out in a box I ran to the window as fast as could be I thought you were somebody else, I thought you were me I thought I had lost everything, I found you instead I fell fast asleep in your arms, I woke up in bed I was waiting for you, I was set in the sun I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue I woke up laughing I broke into a sweat, I broke into a run They were hot on my heels so I hired a gun Woke up laughing Woke up laughing You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong You take a small vacation just to keep sane You find on your return your home has blown away You meditate, you make haste You run a risk, you come late You pay a bill, you lose face You're not fully unaware Are you a star, are you a fake? If you fall do you break? You go to war, you make love You sign out in a box Woke up laughing Woke up laughing I ran to the window as fast as could be I thought you were somebody else, I thought you were me I thought I had lost everything, I found you instead I fell fast asleep in your arms, I woke up in bed You meditate, you make haste You run a risk, you come late You pay a bill, you lose face You're not fully unaware Are you a star, are you a fake? If you fall, do you break? You go to war, you make love You sign out in a box You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong You take a small vacation just to keep sane You find on your return your home has blown away Woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing Woke up laughing
