I had just died and I didn't much mind 
In the basement in my place 
Where I fell hit the floor into my face 
And I bled from every place until I died 
Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency 

Out like a light and I came back alive 
And I heard this lady cry 
And I said, I believe to her surprise 
What I said just made her leave and then I died 
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" 
An emergency 
An emergency 
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" 
An emergency 
An emergency 

I had just died and I don't think I knew 
It kind of sneaks up on you 
Then you're gone and there's nothing you can do 
You should have done more with yourself before you died 
I had just died and this woman shakes me 
Like she shakes me every time 
"I'm down here" 
And she speaks into my eyes 
And I look past her and smile 
And then she pleads me 
And I say "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" 
An emergency 
An emergency 
"Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency" 
An emergency 
An emergency 

And all the time she waits for me to wake 
But in the end, she knows I'd never bend 
I should stop before I break 
Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency
