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 Im down in the war
And youve got to get up

For mercys sake
Wake lady wake

Dress lady dress
Put on your (jacket/skull-cap) and boots.
For the (thief/priest) has confessed
And the chase is afoot.
And the hounds are behind
Gunmen around every tree
And if its 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 the day, this is the day the day
This is the day

Our kingdom will crash
Like a sad piece of trash

(swim lady swim
The whole river across
Though our chances are slim
And were totally lost!
/
Swim lady swim
Lady, dont refuse
Though our chances are slim
And were totally confused!)
There are clues to be found
Oh, and Id ask my peers
But theyre all dumbing down
Until this bad weather clears

Were out on a limb
So swim lady, swim

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

The kingdom will crash
Like an old piece of trash
