[Intro]
\nWere you taken by surprise
\n(Open your eyes)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWill the eyes twinkle
\n(Awaken Rip Van Winkle)
\nSpace-time wrinkle
\n(Before you’re R.I.P. Van Winkle)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWere you taken by surprise
\n(Open your eyes)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you snoozin’
\n(Instead of cruisin’)
\nYou snooze, you lose
\n(You choose the blues)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nPoor sleeping beauty
\n(Missing out on reality)
\nFast asleep… can’t see
\n(The false dichotomy)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWere you taken by surprise
\n(Open your eyes)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you snoozin’
\n(Instead of cruisin’)
\nYou snooze, you lose
\n(You choose the blues)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nWere you taken by surprise
\n(Open your eyes)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you snoozin’
\n(Instead of cruisin’)
\nYou snooze, you lose
\n(You choose the blues)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nWere you taken by surprise
\n(Open your eyes)
\nTake a look around
\n(At what’s going down)
\nCome to realize
\n(Ruled by a clown)<\/p>\n
