Stay Awake Lyrics by Carla Bley

Escalator Over the Hill

1971

Leader:
Stay awake
Please stay awake
Stay awake
Please stay awake!
Please
Stay
Awake!
Awa-
Loudspeaker:
Don't keep saying that!
Viva:
Only flies in the room giggling
Will appear to have changed
As unused women lie uneasily
In Cecil Clark's old hotel
