Just a little sleep

A little slumber

Little folding of the hands to rest

It's what we tell ourselves but we know we're gonna just

Lay here 'til the sun's gone west

But there are foxes in the garden

And there's an old man at the door

When the wind is right and the skies show favor

When the heat has died and the day is cool

We tell ourselves that we'll do it later

When we know full well that that ain't true

And now there's wolves at every window

The man is breaking down the door

Come on we gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

I hear them coming back for more

Gotta wake up

Oh, we say we'll do it when things settle down

We say we'll do it when we the season's through

We say we'll do it when we get around to it

But it's already overdue

And there are foxes in the garden

And there's an old man at the door

Tomorrow's song is a siren singing

Such a sweet and sudden lullaby

Tomorrow's song has got us clinging

To the promise of the by-and-by

And now there's wolves at every window

The man is breaking down the door

Come on we gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

I hear them coming back for more

Come on we gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

Mmm I think they're gathering for war

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

I hear them coming back for more

Come on we gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

We gotta wake up

Oh I think they're gathering for war
