I had just died and I didn't much mind
In the basement in my place
Where I fell hit the floor into my face
And I bled from every place until I died
Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency

Out like a light and I came back alive
And I heard this lady cry
And I said, I believe to her surprise
What I said just made her leave and then I died
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency"
An emergency
An emergency
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency"
An emergency
An emergency

I had just died and I don't think I knew
It kind of sneaks up on you
Then you're gone and there's nothing you can do
You should have done more with yourself before you died
I had just died and this woman shakes me
Like she shakes me every time
"I'm down here"
And she speaks into my eyes
And I look past her and smile
And then she pleads me
And I say "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency"
An emergency
An emergency
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency"
An emergency
An emergency

And all the time she waits for me to wake
But in the end, she knows I'd never bend
I should stop before I break
Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency
