At the core of the Earth It's too hot to breathe There's nothing much to eat And everybody leaves There's a place in the forest Where the animals dance Carefree and joyous, like nobody's watching And nobody's watching So they laugh and they dance Around mahogany trees Completely unawares they're gonna end up as meat And nobody's watching Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up So, you know me, understand me Is that what you think? You haven't met the monster Who wakes up when I drink I was born out of time I'm not meant to be here With the weight of the world and the weight of a tear Are exactly the same Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up There's a spot in the ocean And that's where we'll meet Somewhere far away Where fish can nibble at our feet And we can grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Grow fins, go back in the water Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up Cry better next time Wake up, wake up Try better next time Wake up, wake up It's a gas It's a party on this planet of flakes Somebody take a picture Before it's too late

So I fall more behind every week I'm the shine once guys take a peek, I cry from my eyes to my feet Stairs to the streets, to the gutters, to the sea When I mutter in my sleep, I say, "Mother never weep" My brother finds blood, I say, "Shut up 'fore she sees" Another motherfucking treat Won-wonder will she weep, won-wonder where she be Thunder on my teeth, spittin' natural disasters God told me, "Cat, don't mess with the past tense" You're testing the masters, so guess what the fact is, my ex is a bachelor Next, gonna get big checks from the sets Next, from the dancers, next, from the models This Hennessy is cursed, someone hexed all the bottles (someone hexed all the bottles) I swear on my life, I always try But in my eyes, I can fly, sigh Better luck next time Be-be-better luck next time Better luck next time Be-be-be-be-better luck next time Better luck next time Be-be-be-be-better luck next time Better luck next time Be-be-be-be-better luck next time Better luck next time, be-, be-, be-, be-, be-, be-
