Wipe away the summer air,
You don't wanna see.
That's you in that photograph from 1973,
And you don't even know me.

God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery.
Gimme a plate of fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene.
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway.
Falling away after today,
Nothing to lose so come what may.

Don't wake me!

You got away from me somehow
And all we tried to be.
Everything is different now,
The mind's eye fails to see
And all we know is TV.

God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery.
Gimme a plate of fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene.
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway.
Falling away after today,
Nothing to lose so come what may.

Don't wake me!
Don't wake me!
Don't wake me!

Inside, I rise above this shallow world.
Inside, I rise above this sorrow.

God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery.
Gimme a plate of fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene.
All of the things I wanna say
Can't get a word out anyway.
Falling away after today,
Nothing to lose so come what may.

Don't wake me!
Don't wake me!
Don't wake me!

God only knows I wanna be
The other side of misery.
Gimme a plate of fluorescein
I'm gonna paint an ugly scene.
