Every dawn gets its day like Every frown gets her way like Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on Every backward blackbird Standing out through the rafters So sure he can meet her Thinks he bears a tone So wake up, wake up, 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 siren speaking tongues of kingdom come Every dawn gets its day like Every gal gets her way like Every step that I lay down brings me where I'm from To lay down, lay down, to lay my cross
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 Oh oh, ohhh Oh oh, ohhh 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 Man, they 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
