Tow the line Tow the line Wake up your time is nearly over No more the supernova No action guaranteed Wake up you've had an operation Ideals above your station Too much reality Think about the wasted time spending Watching Mother Nature's knees bending Everybody loves a happy ending Wake up you're on your own agenda Give up the great pretender With baby eyes of green Wake up you're holding on to nothing You know you're only bluffing As dead as autumn leaves Think about the wasted time spending Watching Mother Nature's knees bending Everybody loves a happy ending Don't you just love a happy ending? Oh yeah well so do I And all your love will shine on everyone The darkness of the day A curse in every way You try to see the light But you don't know why Don't know why They tell you on the phone To give your God a bone And grow a set of wings like a butterfly The guardian at the gate Reminds you that you're late You try to take your time But you tow the line Tow the line To children of the world And daddy's little girl The grass is always green on the other side So stay and breathe new life Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up Everything is moving faster than you think (Wake up, wake up) Your pen is running out of ink (Wake up, wake up) Fill up your bath and kitchen sink (Wake up, wake up) They're really kicking up a stink (Wake up, wake up) You never found the missing link (Wake up, wake up) You should be happy in the pink (Wake up, wake up) You're in demand but out of sync (Wake up, wake up) A nod is as good as a wink (Wake up, wake up) Once more my dear friends to the brink All your love will shine on everyone
