Jeff buckley i woke up in a strange place lyrics

The ghost comes to visit 

With my keys in his pocket

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 black death cab

Some destination was moving on in

And I remember words that you told me

Now they come down so hard, so plain

Fate is gonna 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 meth

Her cigarette smell

I can feel 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 black death 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 you're doomed 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



Thank you
