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 skullcap and boots

for the 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, this is,

this is the day, the day, this is the day

our kingdom will crash

like a poor piece of trash



Swim lady swim

lady don't refuse

though our chances are slim

and we're totally confused

there are clues to be found

and I'd ask my peers

but they're all dumbing down

till this bad weather clears

we're out on a limb

so swim lady swim



This is the day....
