Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a

[Verse 2]

Taken out with the trash

Swimming through the gutter

Swimming through the gutter

Swallowed up

Swallowed up by the city

By the city, by the city

[Verse 3]

Humans the size of rats

Opportunity cracks, opportunity stutters

It only takes a minute

And it takes it, and it takes it

And it takes it, and it takes it

[Verse 4]

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take

[Verse 5]

Walking in high heels (I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take)

(I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take)

Breaking in your high heels

(I woke up with a feeling that I just could not take) Trying hard to leave
