Open up, open up,
Open your eyes
It's time, it's time,
It's time to rise
Okay, let's take it slow
You ain't got
No place to goI cried a million tears
I wasted a lotta years
Life was so dead
(So dead)
Life was so dead
(So dead)Oxygen, oxygen,
Right to the brain
Super vices verses
Gettin' to the refrain
Let yourself float,
Don't carry that weight
Never destroy
When you can create
Ready steady,
California
I'm fillin' up
My lungs again
And breathin' lifeHow could I have got so low?
I'm embarrassed to tell you so
I laid around this old place
I hardly ever washed my faceOxygen, oxygen
Right to the brain
Super vices verses
Gettin' to the refrain
Let yourself float,
Don't carry that weight
Never destroy
When you can create
Ready, set in California
I'm fillin' up
My lungs again
And breathin' lifeNow it don't matter
What your age is
Don't you know
It's just a state of mind
Let's get the jump on it
Before it's too late
Friendly reminder
Friendly reminderSo take a lesson
From one who knows
Just where
Being lazy goes
There's a time to live
A reason to live
To live
To liveOxygen oxygen
Right to the brain
Skip the vices verses
Gettin' to the refrain
Let yourself float,
Don't carry that weight
Never destroy
When you can create
Ready set in California
I'm fillin' up
My lungs again
And breathin' lifeOpen up, open up,
Open your eyes
It's time, it's time,
It's time to rise
Okay let's take it slow
We ain't got no place to go
