The first track - the one that grabs you. Try acrobatic flying to it - we hear it's good for that.

lyrics

Wake up, Sugarplum, it's time to be a genius
Time to beat your brain into a perfect circle
Wake up, Sugarplum, up off the matress
Wash your face and face the faceless, muddled masses
Wake up, Sugarplum, put on some coffee
Hesitation breeds resistance
And I'm not feeling your breath on my neck for nothing
This time

Wake up, Sugarplum, up from sedation
Face the nation, they await your answer
Wake up, Sugarplum, into the mainstream
The time is right for you to be the one to save us
Wake up, Sugarplum, gulp down the aspirin
You've been asleep for way too long
And everyone agrees that you should've known better
This time

It's nothing after all
It's nothing but a freak out
And after all
It's tough for you to speak out
So what if you got nothing to say today
We love you anyway

Wake up, Sugarplum
Wake up, Sugarplum
Wake up, Sugarplum
'Cause I'm not feeling your breath on my neck for nothing
No, I'm not feeling your breath on my neck for nothing
This time

It's nothing after all
It's nothing but a freak out
And after all
It's up to you to speak out
So what if you got nothing to say today
We love you anyway
It's nothing but a freak out
And after all
It's up to you to speak out
So what if you got nothing to say today
We love you anyway
We love you anyway
We love you anyway
We love you anyway
We love you anyway
We love you
We love you
