I Woke Up in a Strange Place Songtext
von Jeff Buckley

The ghost comes to visit with my keys in his pockets
Kisses on my mouth with his eyes hanging out of his sockets
Memories crumbling under steel resistance
I was torn out like pages from the book of existence

I woke up in a strange place
Music so loud that I spilled all my beer
I made a call from my blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
I remember the words that you told me
How they come down so hard, so plain
Fate is going to find your love in a glass of champagne

Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress
Stealing from the pockets of a sadomasochist
And she′s mouthing for this place like a tongue on crystal myth
Her cigarette smell like the fear inside my chest


I woke up in a strange place
My mind a blur and some red on my chin
I made a ride in that blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
Easy now
This car is speeding up for my last chance crashing to freedom
Fate is gonna find your love in a glass of champagne

Sweat pours down you're in the back seat sleeping
And she waits by the window from my empty bed weeping
And the ghost guns the motor to the promised land he promised you
I guess this is the time when my best intentions become accidents

Well
This is my story for the dislocated
You′re gonna love, but it turned to be hated
Because the lies of the spirit possessed her
Because the eyes of your lover resist you
Listen up
You keep your aim steady as your temple turns to kiss the pistol
Fate is gonna find your love in a glass of champagne
