Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Wake Up Call
Well there were covert conditions surrounding our mission
When we were called to go
And the powers that be summoned you and me
To help prove what they think they know
Estamos borrachos y cancioneros
Verified and tried and true
So Special Ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two
[Chorus]
We found a place that's not a where
A time that's not a when
Where there is not a why in sight at all
And the speed of light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall
And in this place that's not a where
This time that's not a when
Where there is not a why in sight at all
We'd like to extend our stay…cancel our wake up call
[Verse 2]
The insertion point was a lively little joint
Where operations would begin
So we filled our cups so as to loosen up and to blend right in
We told HQ, "We'll contact you, should we need you anymore"
"We'll send official word, yeah fly you the bird!"
"That's the homing pigeon!!!!"
"Or by semaphore…right!"
[Chorus]
We found a place that's not a where
A time that's not a when
Where there is not a why in sight at all
And the speed of light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall
And in this place that's not a where
This time that's not a when
Where there is not a why in sight at all
We'd like to extend our stay…cancel our wake up call
[Bridge]
The good guys and the bad guys
They never work past noon 'round here
We made our mark upon the map but the ink just disappeared
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Well our final report, in code, five-letters-short
Was written out by hand
It was truthful, subversive, on purpose, in cursive
Scribbled seaside in the sand
Well we made quite clear we volunteer
To stay right where we are
Belay the extraction, we're missing in action, and F*U*B*A*R!
[Chorus]
We found a place that's not a where
A time that's not a when
And there is not a why in sight at all
The speed of the light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall
And in this place that's not a where
This time that's not a when
Where there is not a why in sight at all
We'd like to extend our stay
Got dreamin' to do today
Just doin' our job anyway
Now cancel our wake up call
Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call)
Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call)
Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call)
