Bang Bang Lyrics

Dispatch Bang Bang

she woke me up with a bang, bang
 looking over cross eyed had a big
 hunch that the world was a big lie
 when I got up all the blood to my head
 I got so dizzy fell back to my bed
 I went over to the wayside
 looking for the high tide
 what will I find will I find will I find
 all I saw was a man that had a hat
 that had a pom-pom he's been there for
 years can someone tell me how long
 
 [CHORUS:]
 wake up to tell me
 wake up to show me
 what I could not find
 
 you see this woman woke me up
 at a quarter to three 
 and I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me 
 said I had to go down to where
 the cliffs meet the sea and meet an
 old man to present my plea
 so I headed way down to the big pier
 to await and confront my big fear
 I wheeled around behind to my
 blindside to find and old man with a
 lime and a kind eye
 mister, mister withyour beard so long
 won't you be a saint and tell me
 just where I'm going
 he pointed to a conch shell and then
 to the lime and said this is all
 I really need to get by
 
 [CHORUS]
 
 hey mister man
 I know you don't know
 who you think I am
 but I can safely say
 that I should've been sleeping the day away

 I said 'scuse me, if you've got the time
 he shrugged his shoulders
 said get a spine
 coconut hit me on the head
 jonesin' for a fig
 I booked last night
 I need another fix
 just then I see a twinkle twinkle
 in the old man's eye and a wave
 tossed bottle in thrown to the sky
 
 I caught it on the rebound
 it landed with a soft sound
 I took out the message and put the
 bottle down
 inside was the antidote to the spell
 I read it to the old man 'cause he
 couldn't read so well
 said don't worry about a 
 thing you know your
 path is true just ease your
 mind have a banana
 or two
 
 well, goodness, goodness, woe is me
 the man nearly flipped to learn
 that he was free but just before we
 left and started kicking it
 I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
 kick kick, shuffle shuffle
 back to the beach
 with a tune on my lip
 and my quest in reach 
 if that woman comese to you with
 her song so sweet, say damn
 let the poor sucker sleep
