By Surprise

[Intro]
Were you taken by surprise
(Open your eyes)

[Verse 1]
Will the eyes twinkle
(Awaken Rip Van Winkle)
Space-time wrinkle
(Before you’re R.I.P. Van Winkle)

[Bridge]
Were you taken by surprise
(Open your eyes)

[Chorus]
Are you snoozin’
(Instead of cruisin’)
You snooze, you lose
(You choose the blues)

[Verse 2]
Poor sleeping beauty
(Missing out on reality)
Fast asleep… can’t see
(The false dichotomy)

[Bridge]
Were you taken by surprise
(Open your eyes)

[Chorus]
Are you snoozin’
(Instead of cruisin’)
You snooze, you lose
(You choose the blues)

[Bridge]
Were you taken by surprise
(Open your eyes)

[Chorus]
Are you snoozin’
(Instead of cruisin’)
You snooze, you lose
(You choose the blues)

[Outro]
Were you taken by surprise
(Open your eyes)
Take a look around
(At what’s going down)
Come to realize
(Ruled by a clown)
