Wake Me Up (original version)

The original version of a song that I rerecorded punk style for the CBGB thing. This version was recorded with Todd Moritz in his basement studio in Portland, OR. Finished at home in SF, CA. Todd plays drums, organ, mellotron and sings great harmony vocals. I finished it up recently and am gonna bookend an album with the 2 versions of this song. Written about some long nights in the Dawson Street Pub in Philadelphia.

All this waiting, all this time - won't amount to anything at all
I'm slowly fading, close my eyes - with nothing but the floor to break my fall

All this wonder, all this wine - in a room so dark it makes it hard to see
where's my memory? where's my mind, and why's this headache hanging on to me?

wake me up - I'm going down I always get back up
shake me up - I know I don't deserve this kind of love
keep me holding on - and give me something I can lean upon

All my memories, all my life - is just a dream, it comes as some surprise
I'm slowly fading, close my eyes - if I should fall before I start to rise -

then wake me up - I'm going down I always get back up
shake me up - I know I don't deserve this kind of love
to keep from falling down - just gimme something I can wrap around

and wake me up - I'm going down i always get back up
shake me up - I know I don't deserve this kind of love
and if I have to choose - then gimme something I can stand to lose
