Every dawn gets its day like 
Every frown gets her way like 
Every step to the daylight keeps you stumbling on 
Every backward blackbird 
Sounding out through the rafters 
So sure he can be heard 
Thinks he bears a ton 
So wake up, wake 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 

Man dragging a sheep skin 
Preaching reeking of weekend 
To the signs speaking tongues of kingdom come 
Every dawn gets its day like 
Every gown gets her way like 
Every step that I lay down gets me where I'm from 
To lay down, lay down, to lay my crumbs 

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 

We're all on, on 
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 
Bound to 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
