Cover art for I Woke Up in a Strange Place lyrics by Jeff Buckley

the lyrics to the origional version are:-

"ghost comes to visit with my keys in his pocket kisses on my mouth with his eyes rolling out of his sockets memories crumbling on the solid steel resistance i was torn out like pages from the book of existence

i woke up in a strange place my mind a blur and some blood on my chin i made a call for that black dead cab my destination was moving on in and i remember the words that you told me, came down so hard, so plain fate is going to find your love in your glass of champagne

love came calling as a counterfeit mistress stealing from the pockets of a sadomasochist my woman's mouthing for this place like a tongue on crystal meth ciggarettes smell like the fear inside my chest

yes and I lied to my host i told him i knew how far i could go when i emptied my guts out on his brand new stereo he paid me to go on upstairs and spend a night with his friend i never want to see my face in the mirror again

i woke up in a strange place music so loud that i spilt all my beer i took a ride in that blackened cab my destination is already here easy now, this car is speeding up for my last chance, crash into freedom fate is going to find your love in your glass of champagne

sweat pours down, I'm in the back seat sleeping she watches from an empty bed out the window, weeping the ghost guns that motor to the land that he promised me the draw bridge abandoned and the mug needs nowhere

this is a song for your dislocated the one you loved but your doomed to be hated because the lies of the spirit possessed you because the eyes of your lover resist you listen up boy, shouted from the bottom of a barrel heading down the rapids steady now keep your aim solid as your temple turns to kiss the pistol fate is going to find your love in your glass of champagne fate is going to find your love in your glass of champagne"
