one day i slowly floated away
one day i slowly floated away
all the war horses wore rubber bands
to hide their hooves
from sinking sand
the commander in charge was hoping that
their destiny was not to die

wake up in the morning
i shall wake up and so shall you and i
wake up, the sun is beautiful
and it is warming you and i
oh, fragile as we lie

hard to foresee the future
our bodies would grow and thin
glimpsing the peeling paint of
the nurse's ivory shin
you've got a lot of nerve coming here
your eyes are beating
rhythms way
faster than the speeding bullet that
took the life of your radio

wake up in the morning
i shall wake up and so shall you and i
wake up, the sun is beautiful
and it is warming you and i
oh, fragile as we lie

and in the corner chair, soft and soap-scented
my darling cries apologies
we foresee the mercy that's been shown
my own limbs will not go unthanked or unseen

wake up in the morning
i shall wake up and so shall you and i
wake up, the sun is beautiful
and it is warming you and i
oh, fragile as we lie
