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, fragile as we lie Hard to foresee 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
