Lyrics The Waterboys

The Waterboys

The Wind in the Wires

Wake lady wake

The hills are in flood

And the road we must take

Is a river of blood

And the wind in the wires

And your heart like a cup

And I'm down in the war

And you've got to get up

For mercy's sake

Wake lady wake

Dress lady dress

Put on your skull-cap and boots

For the priest has confessed

And the chase is afoot

And the hounds are behind

Gunmen around every tree

And if it's all in our minds

Well, where else would it be

I suggest

You dress lady, dress

This is the day, this is the day, the day

This is the day, the day, this is the day, this is

This is the day

This is the day, this is the day, the day

This is the day, the day, this is the day, this is

Is this is the day?

Our kingdom will crash

Like a coo-let piece of trash

Swim lady swim

Lady, don't refuse

Though our chances are slim

And we're totally confused!

There are clues to be found

Oh, and I'd ask my peers

But they're all dumbing down

Until this bad weather clears

We're out on a limb

So swim lady, swim

Hey, world high

La la la la, la la la, la la la

La la la la, la la la, la la la

La la la la, la la la, la la la
