Woke Up In A Strange Place Lyrics

ghost calls to visit 

 with my keys in his pocket

 kisses in my mouth with his

 eyes hanging out of his sockets

 my memories crumble 

 under still resistance

 i was torn out like pages

 from the book of existence

 

 i woke up in a strange place

 my mind a blur and some blood on my chin

 i made a call for a blackened cab

 some destination was moving on in

 i remember the words that you told me

 how they come down so hard, so plain

 fate is going to find your love in a

 glass of champagne

 

 i lied to my host i told him

 i knew how far i could go

 then i emptied my guts out 

 on his brand new stereo

 well he paid me to go upstairs 

 and spend a night with his friend

 i never want to see my face 

 in the mirror again

 

 i woke up in a strange place

 music so loud that i spit up my beer

 i met a ride in that blackened cab

 some destination was all that he had

 easy now, this car is speeding up

 for my last chance, crashing to freedom

 fate is going to find your love in a

 glass of champagne

 

 sweat pours down

 you're in the back seat sleeping

 and she waits by the window

 on an empty bed, weeping

 the ghost guns the motor 

 to the land that he promised me

 i guess this is the time when your

 best intentions become accidents

 

 this is my song for the dislocated

 who want to love but who turn to be hated

 because the lies of the spirit possessed you

 because the eyes of your lover resist you

 listen now, you keep your aim steady

 as your temple turns to kiss the pistol

 fate is going to find your love

 in a glass of champagne

 

 fate is going to find your love

 in a glass of champagne
