I woke up this morning, made a pot of coffee 00:00

Went out onto the stairs to sit in the sun 00:06

I haven't been myself, I know I haven't been much fun 00:13

But I woke up this morning and the air tastes different 00:18

The fire in the gut 00:28

Kills the worm that haunts us 00:33

I'm all shook up 00:38

And I 'm gonna ride this feeling as far as it goes 00:43

I'm gonna ride this feeling 00:49

I don't know, I don't know 00:53

Whether I'm flying or falling 00:56

But I'm gonna ride this feeling 01:02

Then all of a sudden I knew I was dreaming 01:10

And for some reason I decided to take off my clothes 01:16

Then I jumped off a cliff, just spread my arms and flew 01:22

All the way across Canada to see you 01:29

The fire in the gut 01:34

Kills the worm that haunts us 01:34

I'm all shook up 01:34

And I 'm gonna ride this feeling as far as it goes 01:34

I'm gonna ride this feeling 01:40

I don't know, I don't know 01:44

Whether I'm flying or falling 01:47

But I'm gonna ride this feeling 01:53

All the way down 02:01

The fire in the gut 02:08

Kills the worm that haunts us 02:13

I'm all shook up 02:18

It's alright, it's alright, just get out of the way, and ride 02:22

Lyrics:

[English]

I woke up this morning, made a pot of coffee

Went out onto the stairs to sit in the sun

I haven't been myself, I know I haven't been much fun

But I woke up this morning and the air tastes different

The fire in the gut

Kills the worm that haunts us

I'm all shook up

And I 'm gonna ride this feeling as far as it goes

I'm gonna ride this feeling

I don't know, I don't know

Whether I'm flying or falling

But I'm gonna ride this feeling

Then all of a sudden I knew I was dreaming

And for some reason I decided to take off my clothes

Then I jumped off a cliff, just spread my arms and flew

All the way across Canada to see you

The fire in the gut

Kills the worm that haunts us

I'm all shook up

And I 'm gonna ride this feeling as far as it goes

I'm gonna ride this feeling

I don't know, I don't know

Whether I'm flying or falling

But I'm gonna ride this feeling

All the way down

The fire in the gut

Kills the worm that haunts us

I'm all shook up

It's alright, it's alright, just get out of the way, and ride

Ride this feeling
