Dawn Lyrics by Portugal. The Man

Church Mouth

2007

[Verse 1]
Because it's safe at the bottom this lake
We know what you're gonna do when you get there
Sit down and listen
We built that cold hearted fool and on that shit we made money
Motives lost in a heap because the dead don't, dead don't listen

[Chorus]
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
I'm an apple dripping man
Just like the feet that tapped: "Take me home"

[Verse 2]
We'll be back when the stores are in order
The house isn't shaking
And the king is elected from the love that grows it
Love that grows it

[Chorus]
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
I'm an apple dripping man
Just like the feet that tapped: "Take me home"

[Verse 3]
We built the mountains to stand up where he knows
All the sheep that showed don't care who knows it, care who knows it
But the sons are the giants built by the Pharaohs
Where the apples fed them sheep
We built the mountains to stand up where he knows
All the sheep that showed don't care who knows it, care who knows it
Care who knows it, care who knows it

[Chorus]
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in, shining
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
Wake up, wake up
Oh, that sunshine is shining in
Let's go, I don't care who knows it
I'm an apple dripping man
Just like the feet that tapped: "Take me home"
