Jeff Buckley Woke Up In A Strange Place Lyrics

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 spilled all 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
