Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers - Wake Up Call lyrics

rate me

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 borracheros y cancioneros, verified and tried and true

So Special Ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two

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

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!"

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

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!

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
