Wake Up

(Arcade Fire)



Somethin' filled up
My heart with nothin'
Someone told me not to cry

Now that I'm older
My heart's colder
I can see that it's a lie

Children wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust

If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little God's causin' rain storms
Turnin' every good thing to rust

I guess we'll just have to adjust

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
When the Reaper he reaches and touches my hand

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin'

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am go-goin'

You better look out below!
