I met Lucy at the mission   She was talking too loud   She said, "praise his name, I've just been saved   Now I could use a ride downtown"   I said, "I got a little money   And I'm looking for a friend"   She chipped off a chunk of that ten-dollar junk   Let her eyes roll back in her head   And said, "wake me up if anything happens   I'm a sucker for a little romance   And I can't wait to catch that spark   So wake me up as soon as it starts"      Saw the boys out on the corner   Screaming at the wind   Singing the blues in well-heeled shoes   And raising their fists   Ain't this a dapper revolution   Tell me, what you gonna change?   You won't get far throwing rocks at cars   And running inside when it rains   So wake me up if anything happens   I'd hate to miss the action   And I'm just dying to do my part   So wake me up as soon as it starts      I dropped Lucy at the graveyard   Headed down to the club   Saw some friends of mine trading schoolboy lines   In the back of a bus   They said, "we're blowing this shit town   We got a little band   There ain't nothing to it, man, all you gotta do   Is put an x on the back of your hand"   I said, "wake me up if anything happens   I'd be a fool to miss my chance   At broken bottles and busted hearts   So wake me up as soon as it starts"
