Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
Don’t blind your eyes again
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
To criticize and cringe
The no holding all scolding is starting to wane
Loves absence is wearing me thin
Seems I lent out my heart to a bag full of veins
Tapped dry by a deep thirst for sin
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
Don’t blind your eyes again
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
To criticize and cringe
Amongst the gadgets and gizmos, bad feet and truckloads
Of fearless, faithless clowns
Who told the tipsy and the merry to steer clear of your ferry
'cuz the anchor was too light to drown
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
Don’t blind your eyes again
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
To criticize and cringe
Annie, I’d never hurt you
I want you to call out my name
Annie, I swear I love you, girl
I forget that you're partially insane
I’m charred, you’re chiseled, you’re fried, I’ve fizzled
Sanctity lies in the ground
I beg, you borrow. Can I see you tomorrow?
Annie, please stick around
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
Don’t blind your eyes again
Wake up sweet Annie, it’s time to rise
To criticize and cringe
Don't criticize me!
