Lyrics

Waking and Baking

I have awakened
It’s time for baking
Been a long week, pretending that work’s not hell
(Or purgatory)
Saturday morning, I don’t have to answer the bell
(A different story)
Safe at home, all is well
It was time for waking, so I woke
Time for baking, so I boke

I woke, I boke
My morning’s up in smoke, and it’s okay
The fundamental function of a buzz
Is to help you see all that can be
And forget about what was
Dragging you down
Put it down
All the way from here to Monday
It’s okay . . .

I have awakened
It’s time for baking
Time to see the day through different eyes
(A little redder)
Up and away, high and inside
A little better
Safe at home, better baked than fried
It was time for waking, so I woke
Time for baking, so I boke

I woke, I boke
My morning’s up in smoke, and it’s okay
The fundamental function of a buzz
Is to help you open all the doors and windows in your brain
It’s an amplifier
To lift you higher
All the way from here to Monday
It’s okay
Where’s my bowl?
I had it just a minute ago
Old King Cole
Got nothing on me, I know
So please tell me
Where’s my pipe? Where’s my bowl? Where’s my fiddlers three?

I have awakened
It’s time for baking
Maybe a little coffee will help with waking
(A morning buzz)
Maybe a little chocolate covered bacon
(Just because)
Safe at home, waking and baking
It was time for waking, so I / woke
Time for baking, so I / boke


I woke, I boke
Up in smoke
Opened all the doors and windows
And forgot about the doors
And windows
I woke, I boke
Then I boke again
Then I got more woke than I’ve ever been
Hey, put that down
Let’s go out and make the world a better place
Than it’s ever been
‘Cause we woke
We boke
