I woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And let the world spin madly on
And everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my windowsill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still
I woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on
And the world spins madly on
And the world spins madly on and on and on

| big_gare (Langley, Bee Cee, Canada) | Posted: Sep 27, 2009 - 14:34 Love The Weepies. Intelligent Indie Rock. They have to be among the coolest music I've "woken up" to. :-) |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Jun 24, 2009 - 18:11 I just adore this song each time I hear it. And it speaks to the melancholy I'm feeling right now. |

Exactly what I was thinking. |
| AsInWestminster (The District) | Posted: Apr 28, 2006 - 10:19 I love Deb Talan and Steve Tannen's solo stuff, but I LOVE them together as the Weepies. Their first album, Happiness, is a short but lovely gem. |

heh. amusingly, this duet (singer-songwriters Deb Talan and Steve Tannen--Deb Talan has some other songs on RP) has a great album called "Happiness", which is almost all very upbeat. =) |
