Snooze Switch

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Muted Electric Guitar, Piano, Deep Sub-Bass, Organ, Drums, Percussion, Saxophone]

[Intro]
Wake up…
(Just a little longer)
Wake up…
(Lettin’ sleep linger?)

[Verse 1]
Hit the button, roll it over
Five more minutes, maybe more
Dreaming underneath the covers
While the knocking’s at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Tick-tock…
(Still asleep)
Tick-tock…
(Too deep)

[Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

[Verse 2]
Push it once and push it twice
Push it till the warning’s gone
This time we think we’ve got it
So this time we carry on

[Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

No more dreaming
(No more sleep)
There’s promises to keep

When the signal starts to scream
(You can’t snooze your way out of the dream)

[Bridge]
Snooze it…
(Lose it)
Can’t hide it…
(Can’t deny it)
Wait…?
(Way too late)
… weigh “too late”

[Break]
(Way too late)
… weigh “too late”

At any rate…
(Wake from your lethargic state!)

[Instrumental: Swampy Blues Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Heavy Bass Groove, Drums]

[Final Chorus]
Wake up!
(Wake up!)
As the floor shakes
(Wake up!)
Before the whole thing breaks

No more dreaming
(No more sleep)
We’re in way too deep
To keep pretending…
(We’re asleep)

[Final Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

Snooze switch!
(Wake up!)
Snooze switch!
(For real!)
Wake to it…
(Wake to it!)

[Outro]
Hit the switch…
(Don’t hit snooze.)

Wake up…
(Too deep to choose to lose)

Wake…
(Up.)
