Stay Awake Lyrics


I could fall in love with you
But it's not my fault
'Cause you are the prettiest thing I've seen
When you're fallen asleep in my arms
Oh my, oh my, oh my
So just stay awake for me
'Cause I can't fall asleep
So just stay awake for me
I'll give you anything
To just stay awake, make love to me
So maybe all you'll ever need
Is right inside these arms
Whole and you're so damn tired and conditional
As you're fallen asleep in the dark
Oh I, oh my, oh my
So just stay awake for me
'Cause I can't fall asleep
So just stay awake for me

I'll give you anything
To just stay awake and make love to me
There's nothing I won't try
To keep your body close to mine
And baby, hold on tight
It's a wild open ride
Give me all you got tonight
And stay awake with me, stay awake
Give it all you got
Just stay awake for me
'Cause I can't fall asleep
So just stay awake for me
I'll give you anything
To just stay awake, make love to me
Oh, just stay awake, make love to me
Make love to me
Make love to me
Make love to me
...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Escalator over the hill is mostly known as a jazz opera, but was released as a chronotransduction with words by Paul Haines, and music/composition/adaptation by Carla Bley. This particular collaboration lasted three years, for it was the time that it took to record, and produce this work. It's infamous "locked groove" ending of the LP was transcribed to the CD version, the hum at the end lasting for almost 20 minutes.
Recorded in 1968-1971, released 1971.
