One Day I Slowly Floated Away

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
