We wakeup different, rifle through our dreams (Riff 1)
Another placid day, ripples at the seams (Riff 2 w/ fill 3)

Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)
(Riff 2 w/ fill 4)

So tangle-minded then so becalmed (Riff 1)
It's all so subway-grim and then it's gone (Riff 2 w/ fill 3)

Or cause I don't wanna fight? (Fig. 4)

We get so weary taking fish off hooks (Riff 1)
