It can't be said I'm an early bird It's ten o'clock before I say a word Baby, I can never tell How do you sleep so well? You keep telling me to live right To go to bed before the daylight But then you wake up for the sunrise You know you don't gotta pretend, baby, now and then Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze? If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great But while in this world I think I'll take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me I aim low I aim true, and the ground's where I go I work late, where I'm free from the phone And the job gets done, but you worry some, I know But who wants to live forever, babe? You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate The rest of you like you're the TSA I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait Until that day I'd rather take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three My coffee black and my bed at three My coffee black and my bed at three

Lightning crashes A new mother cries The angel opens her eyes The confusion sets in Before the doctor can even close the door Lightning crashes An old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now, to the baby down the hall Oh, now feel it coming back again Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again I can feel it Lightning crashes A new mother cries This moment she's been waiting for The angel opens her eyes Pale blue colored iris presents the circle And puts the glory out to hide, hide Oh, now feel it comin' back again Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming back again Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again I can feel it I can feel it coming back again Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again I can feel it I can feel it coming back again Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind Forces pulling from the center of the Earth again
