I Wake Up and See the Face of the Devil Lyrics by Diamanda Galás

Plague Mass

1991

I wake up and see the face of the Devil
And I ask Him
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
How do you feel today?
What time is it?
How do you feel today?
Well, I think I'm feeling better
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it?
What TIME IS IT?
How do you feel today?
Well, I think I'm feeling better
Do you?
Yes, I think I'm feeling better;
You know I was just thinking if I
Could just get out of here some time and do
Something, you know and stop looking at the TV and just do anything at all
I would be so happy... just give myself something to do, you know I...
Do you?
What time is it?
Better better better better
What time is it?
How much time do you want?
I want? I want?
Why you... I want...
How much time do you want?
Well, I was just thinking tnat perhaps I
Could have just...
Do you?
Better? Better? Better? Better?
How much time do I want?
I want... I want... How much time do I have
Why you... why you... I want... I want...
No one knows... where I'm going
You know we've been talking about you downstairs and
We think perhaps you are not being realistic-that perhaps
You are being unrealistic... it seems that you are not-
We think that you have not faced up to what is going on...
Better?
Better?
Better?
Better?
Are you sure, perhaps, you know
You've gone insane...
Better?
Better?
Better?
Better?
Black!
Black!
Black!
Black!
White lights
White lights
White lights
White lights
Black! Black! Black!
White lights
Better
Better
Better
Better
...
Sister, if I could do it all over again
I would, but you know there's something
Unnatural about this thing...
There's something unnatural about this thing...
Keep it in your memory...
People forget... about...
Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you?
I'm fine
I'm fine
Hi, how are you? How are you?
I'm fine
I'm just fine
How are you, anyway?
And how are YOU
And how are YOU
Any how are YOU
I'm just fine
Miss thing
I just feel like singing the battle hymn of the republic
How are you, anyway?
Get out of here
Get out of here
Get out
Get out
Get out
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
You are the love of my life
I have never loved anyone like this before
And I never will again
Don't go...
I'm sorry, miss
You can't come in now
He has developed shingles
And you could contract it
And it might be meningitis and
Not be able to have children...
Children children children
Children children children
Children children children
Children children children
Am I having children?
When my baby is dying
When my baby is dying
This is my blood
This is my blood
This is my blood
White lights
White lights
White lights
White lights
Black
Black
Black
Black
I dreamed I stuck a gun to my head and I dreamed
I was lying in a pool of blood
And they looked down at me
And said
"It's over now...
It's over now...
Now, at least, he is in peace
FREE
FREE
FREE
FREE
Turn the fuckin' light off!
I dreamed I was lying in the green grass
And the wind was blowing softly
And blue was everywhere
And I saw heads popping out through the grass
And it seemed as if they knew me...
"Hi Dimitri, Hi Dimitri, Hi Dimitri. Hi Dimitri"
"Heaven... Heaven...
Black
Black
Black
LACK
Heaven... I see Heaven...
