Gary Jules Falling Awake Lyrics

Falling Awake Lyrics

FALLING AWAKE -- posted by Gary Jules



Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages.

Monkeys in my heart

Are rattling their
cages.



Found a way to blue

And another ghost to follow

Said “it’s only up to you”

And that’s the hardest pill to swallow.



You never get to choose

You live on what they sent you

And
you know they’re gonna use

The things you love against you



One foot in the grave

One foot in the shower

There’s never time
to save

You’re paying by the hour



And that’s just the way it
goes

Falling awake

And that’s just the way it goes



Slipping through the bars

Aware of the danger

Of riding in the
cars 

Taking candy from strangers



And it’s never out of
hand

Never out of pocket

I’m supersonic man

Do you wanna buy
a rocket?



And that’s just the way it goes

Falling awake,
falling awake

Oh that’s just the way it goes

Falling awake, falling
awake



Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages

Monkeys
in my heart

Are rattling their cages



I could learn to play
the game

I could learn to run the hustle

If I only had the
brains

The money or the muscle
