“Renaissance” by Yours Truly from the album Question Mark

“Renaissance”

Wake up and smell the coffee in your little nest.
Wake up and smell the coffee—I’ll do all the rest.

Because it’s time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Time for a renaissance, waking up the earth.

You know I listened darling, to every word you said,
So sit right back and rest your soul, and I’ll bring you breakfast in bed.

Because it’s time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Come on, darling, you know it’s shaking the entire earth.

[Introduction to guitar solo.]

[Guitar solo.]

Hey. Not too bad.

Romantic imagination gripping my soul,
Sending it back to the eternal moment and making it whole.

It’s time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Come on, darling, you know it’s waking, shaking up the entire earth.

I used to believe in reincarnation, but that was a long time ago.
In fact, it must have been in another life because I don’t believe in it anymore.

And it’s—it’s time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Time for a renaissance, waking up the earth.

Well, there’s nothing to defeat here, baby, and there’s nothing to defend.
There’s nothing shaking here, babe; we might as well sing it once again.

Time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Time for a renaissance—it’s waking, shaking up the earth.
It’s time for a renaissance, time for a rebirth.
Come on, darling, you know it’s shaking the entire earth

[Primal scream.]
