| Woke up this morning
|
| Had a crazy dream
|
| Got married in a black dress
|
| What the hell’s that mean
|
| There was a faceless lady
|
| Telling me who to be
|
| What to wear
|
| How to act
|
| And you know that just ain’t me
|
| Jumped outta my bed
|
| Pulled up the blinds
|
| What a way to wake up
|
| Lord knows that was a sign
|
| Ooo, yeah it’s coming back
|
| I put my train back on it’s track
|
| Stop my engine
|
| Blow my steam
|
| Gonna use what I got to get what I need
|
| Just want something real
|
| That I know I can feel
|
| Get down to the deeper me
|
| Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah…
|
| For 43 days
|
| I’ve been in a funk
|
| For 42 nights
|
| My ship been sunk (yeah)
|
| These Brooklyn graves
|
| And Manhattan blues
|
| Mix them together
|
| That’s the color of paying your dues
|
| Sometimes the sun
|
| Shines just enough
|
| To get you through the hard times
|
| And you know I had a lot
|
| I said…
|
| And oh, what I need
|
| Is something for my soul to feed
|
| And I won’t take my breath away
|
| I owe it to myself
|
| Not to waste another day, yeah
|
| Oh, hey, oh, yeah, oh, ooo, yeah, yeah…
|
| Oh, yeah it’s coming back
|
| I put my train back on it’s track
|
| I just want something real
|
| That I know I can feel
|
| Oh yeah, yeah…
|
| Oh, yeah it’s coming back
|
| I put my train back on it’s track (stop my engine, blow my steam)
|
| I’m going to use what I got to get what I need
|
| Just want something real
|
| That I know I can feel
|
| Get down to the deeper me
|
| Gonna use what I got to get what I need, oh yeah…
|
| Gotta use what I got to get what I need, yeah |
