Bang Bang Lyrics by Dispatch

Ain’t No Trip to Cleveland Vol. 1

1997

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
She woke me up with a bang, bang
Looking over cross eyed;
Had a big hunch that the world was a big lie
When I got up, all the blood to my head
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
I went over to the way side
Looking for the high tide
What will I find, will I find, will I find find
All I saw was a man that had a hat
That had a pom-pom, he's been there for years
Can someone tell me how long

[Chorus]
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me
What I could not find

[Verse 2]
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter 'til three
And I didn't know it then but she put a spell on me
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
And meet an old man to present my plea
So I headed way down to the big pier
To await and confront my big fear
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
Said "Mister, mister, with your beard so long
Won't you be a saint and tell me just where I'm going"
He pointed to a conch shell and then to the lime
And said, "This is all I really need to get by"

[Chorus]
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find

[Bridge]
Hey, hey mister man
I know you don't know who you think I
Think I am
But I can safely say, that I
Should've been sleeping, been sleeping
Been sleeping, been sleeping the day away
Hey, hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I said "'Scuse me, have you got the time"
He shrugged his shoulders said, "Get a spine"
Coconut hit me on the head, jonesin' for a fig
I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig?
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle, twinkle in the old man's eye
And a wave-tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
I caught it on the rebound, it landed with a soft sound
I took out the message and put the bottle down
Inside was the antidote to the spell
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
Said "Don't worry about a thing, ya know your path is true
Just ease your mind have a banana or two"

Well, goodness, goodness, woe is me
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
But just before we left and started kicking it
I picked up the bottle and star-sixed it
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet
Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
Let him sleep

[Chorus]
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
Wake up to tell me
Wake up to show me what I could not find
