Lyrics The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip

Don't Wake Daddy

Sled dogs after dinner

Close their eyes on the howling wastes

Kurt Cobain reincarnated

Sighs and licks his face

Then they drift past strips of Serengeti

And the gates of Sleepy Hollow too

You can pause in wonder, they paused in wonder

And, yeah, I paused in wonder too

Shhh

Don't

Wake

Daddy

They can lay their heads on their futon beds

So many miles from home

You teach your children some fashion sense

And they fashion some of their own

For when the policy weary commune

On the untamed land

Through white sheers, whispers in their ears

"You're damned"

Shhh

And don't

Wake

Daddy

Just don't

You can stuff your void with the asteroid

That's hurtling toward the Earth

You can drop the bomb that restores some calm

And then promises rebirth

Shhh

Just don't

Wake

Daddy

Just don't

Wake

Daddy

It's the perfect time now (sing to end all songs)

For an eclectic choice (to end all songs)

They're all asleep but us now (sing to end all songs)

It's time to hear your voice (to end all songs)

(Sing to end all songs, to end all songs)

(Sing to end all songs, to end all songs)

(Sing to end all songs, to end all songs)

(Sing to end all songs, to end all songs)
