[Intro] [Verse 1] I was sleeping like a mountain, forty fathoms in my bed, had a hundred years of nothing but the whale songs in my head. Then some fool commenced to drilling right above my pillow, Lord... (spoken, low) Now why they wanna go and do that. (guitar sting) [Chorus] You done woke up the wrong lizard, baby — I was dreaming something sweet. Yeah, you woke up the wrong lizard, mama — now it's sirens in the street. I don't start no trouble... (no I don't) (beat) ...but I surely will conclude it. [Verse 2] I just leaned against a tower, tryna scratch my achy back — sixty years of walking careful, and they call THAT an attack? I ain't stepped on but three trains... and mostly they were parked... (spoken) You try tiptoeing at fifty thousand tons. ...In the dark. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I ain't angry, little sister... I'm just old and light on sleep. I been holding somebody's fire in my belly... buried deep. So let an old man float on home... let the water close above... (spoken, low) And tell them boys with the submarines — the ocean's plenty big for all of us. [Final Chorus] You done woke up the wrong lizard, baby — I was dreaming something sweet. Yeah, you woke up the wrong lizard, mama — now it's sirens in the street. I don't start no trouble... (no he don't!) (beat) ...but I always did conclude it. [Outro] (spoken, fading) ...Goodnight, Tokyo. [Hard End]
