I woke up with a story A story inside my head I woke up with a story A story inside my head There were two unlikely troubadours Sitting side by side on an empty floor With battered 6-string beauties In hand Well, I've been around the block The block a time or two I've been around the block The block a time or two But never had I heard a song That made me wanna stay asleep so long And feel the darkness Of such cryin' blues And it can't be spoken It can't be read The things that Jack and José's fingers said You'd think there were twelve people Strummin' them strings It was a soul-igniting anomaly It was a soul-igniting anomaly Well, I thought I saw smoke Coming up, it seemed I thought I saw smoke Coming up, it seemed As José moved like a hurricane And Jack hammered on the sides and face Of those poor guitars While they sang And it can't be spoken It can't be read The things that Jack and José's fingers said You'd think there were twelve people Strummin' them strings It was a soul-igniting anomaly It was a soul-igniting anomaly And when I awoke I couldn't even move And when I awoke I couldn't even move For the music was too good, you see For only an audience of me I was paralyzed In wishin' it were true And it can't be spoken It can't be read The things that Jack and José's fingers said You'd think there were twelve people Strummin' them strings It was a soul-igniting anomaly It can't be spoken It can't be read The things that Jack and José's fingers said You'd think there were twelve people Strummin' them strings It was a soul-igniting anomaly It was a soul-igniting anomaly It was a soul-igniting, harmonious anomaly
