Back Again

Woke

When I woke up again
I didn’t know what happened
I was alone and then you called.
I was unsure of when
things had gotten so messed up
I was alone and then you called.

I just believed that I
had worked it all out in my sleep
I was unsure of where to go
I just wanted
to stop sleeping
I was hearing voices speaking
I was alone and then you called

	Wake me up ‘cause I can’t sleep
	I want to tell you that I can’t keep
	anything you say or what you do
	I just sleep all day

I count the days and the nights
I count every word now
I count the folds in your sheets
I don’t sleep anymore
I’m staring at the doorframe
And pictures of pictures that I keep

	I want to sleep I want sleep in your bed
	I can’t wait ‘cause I can’t wake
	I want to keep I want to keep what you said
	sometimes give and sometimes take

	Maybe maybe maybe if you believe
	That every every every time that you lead
	You get a chance to build it up from the ground
	Cause baby baby baby if you can see
	That every every every time that you need
	you get a chance to be lost and you get a chance to be found

	you’ve got to be lost to be found
	you’ve got to leave the ground
	you’ve got to stick around


Woke

Get inside of you
I could tell you what to do
I was once like you
I could talk in circles, too

I was once like you
I believed in voodoo, too
All my troubles grew
I was painted black and blue

I will tell you the truth
You don’t know what to do
You could just break through
Just let yourself unglue

stand
build
climb
drive
push
lean
stretch
fly

And you know that you can jump
And you know that you will fall
If you would just let go
of it all

if you can let it go, then let it go

If you could just see how:  you’d jump
Up in the sky at night:  you’d jump
if you could just see why--
you’d want to jump

take the time, it’s time to jump
you can go, it’s time to jump


Jump

The New Yorker

you don’t know what to believe
unless you’re told
I just sit and watch them go by
reading my New Yorker
pass a beer to me I’ve got something to say--
I just hope it comes out right

so go down down and don’t you ever see it
so go down down and don’t you ever believe it

you can believe anything in New York
you can take any chance that you get
if you want you can change everything in New York
and I want to take all of your time in New York
	
	you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
	I don’t know what I’ve got until I have it
	at your parents I got wasted
	(there was nothing else to do 
but read your father’s new york times)

I read it today in the paper
said that you would be a star
you want your 15 minutes
I’m ready for my closeup
In New York
you can change what you want
take what you want
lose what you want
make what you want

do you want new york?
'cause new york wants you

	you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
	I don’t know what I’ve got until I have it
	I went out in the street
	and I started to run
	I read all the signs
	I paid all the fines
	I made you mine in New York time

	I read the New York Times
	(new york I love new york you love new york)
	I set your watch to new york time
	In new york, new york (hey)
	I'm going to make you mine in New York time, yeah

Born from the sweet love making of Tina Turner and all three of the Beastie Boys, The Peel School has been living easy from day one. After making rain from empty boxes of Dunkin' Donuts, the School went to town rocking like your Aunt Gladys.

The band wants you to know that you are all invited for dinner. You don't even need to call first.
