Every frown gets her way like

Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on

Every backward blackbird

Sounding out through the rafters

So sure he can be heard

Thinks he bears a ton

So wake up, wake up, to wake the sun



Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train



Man dragging a sheep skin

Preaching reeking of weekend

To the signs speaking tongues of kingdom come

Every dawn gets its day like

Every gown gets her way like

Every step that I lay down gets me where I'm from

To lay down, lay down, to lay my crumbs



Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train



We're all on, on

That train



Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train



Who hired the walls of the station

To arrest my imagination

Profit from my place under the callous thumb

Every dawn gets its day like

Bound to blindly parade like

Every step that we weigh down plays out like a drum

To wake up, shake up, to wake the sun



Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wake up, wake up, wake the sun

Wake up, wake up, hanging like a chain

Wait for, wait for the first train
