[Verse 1: Dallas Green]
So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints, the right frames
This could really work
What a great day to spend indoors

[Chorus: Dallas Green]
Wake, wake up, (Wake, wake up)
(Wake, wake up, wake, wake up)
Wake, wake up, (Wake, wake up)
(Wake, wake up, wake, wake up)

[Post-Chorus: George Pettit]
In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong

[Verse 2: Dallas Green]
So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick and it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for
[Chorus: Dallas Green]
Wake, wake up, (Wake, wake up)
(Wake, wake up, wake, wake up)
Wake, wake up, (Wake, wake up)
(Wake, wake up, wake, wake up)

[Outro: Dallas Green, George Pettit]
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for
It's not what, what we, we hoped for
Was this what we hoped for?
It's not what we hoped for, it's not
