One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away
All the war horses wore rubber bands
o 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
Fragile as we lie

Hard to forsee the future
Our bodies are growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin
You 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
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner of the chair, soft and soap-scented
My darling cries apologies
We foresee the mercy
that's been shown my young 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
Fragile as we lie
