Wake lady wake
|
the hills are in flood.
|
And the road we must take
|
is a river of blood.
|
And the wind in the wires
|
and your heart like a cup
|
And I¡¯m down in the war
|
and you¡¯ve got to get up
|
|
For mercy¡¯s sake
|
wake lady wake
|
|
Dress lady dress
|
put on your (jacket/skull-cap) and boots.
|
For the (thief/priest) has confessed
|
and the chase is afoot.
|
And the hounds are behind
|
gunmen around every tree
|
And if it¡¯s all in our minds
|
well, where else would it be
|
|
I suggest
|
you dress lady, dress
|
|
This is the day, this is the day this is,
|
this is the day, this is, this is the day the day
|
This is the day
|
|
This is the day, this is the day this is,
|
this is the day the day, this is the day the day
|
This is the day
|
|
Our kingdom will crash
|
like a sad piece of trash
|
|
(Swim Lady swim
|
the whole river across
|
Though our chances are slim
|
and we¡¯re totally lost!
|
/
|
Swim Lady swim
|
Lady, don't refuse
|
Though our chances are slim
|
and we¡¯re totally confused!)
|
There are clues to be found
|
oh, and I¡¯d ask my peers
|
But they¡¯re all dumbing down
|
until this bad weather clears
|
|
We¡¯re out on a limb
|
so swim lady, swim
|
|
This is the day, this is the day the day
|
this is the day, this is the day
|
This is the day
|
this is the day, this is the day the day
|
This is the day, this is the day the day
|
this is the day
|
|
The kingdom will crash
|
like an old piece of trash
|
