Awake in a dream with you and me being the stars of the show   It's no go until somebody else says so   Could somebody please prove to me that I'm alive?      Only for a short time can I stay mellow   Can I stay eatin', sleepin', shittin', beaten fellow   Who don't complain about the absolutely mundane noise of the day   Here's the day      I could've fallen asleep like you all did years ago,   But the dignity within me would not let me go   I'm sick of "Woe is me" - go fuck yourself   You can take that conversation and stick it on the back of the shelf with the beans      Give me my smelling salts - I think I might've died   Halfway from here to reality   I've got some tricky faults - that's why I wanna live   Halfway from here to reality      I used to be left of the center -   Now the center's to the left of me; up on the right   Is a man with a plan dealin' out a scary hand (deck of cards, what have you)      I used to be left of the center -   Now the center's to the left of me; up on the right   Is a man with a plan - watch out for him      Can you tell me, does it get any better as we go?   Do all the assholes suddenly march out in a uniform row?   I'm sick of "Woe is me" - go fuck yourself   You can take that conversation and stick it on the back of the shelf with the beans      Give me my smelling salts - I think I might've died   Halfway from here to reality   An extract of brain juice appeared to spit out of my eye   Halfway from here to reality
