Les Savy Fav - Wake Up! / Reformat from The Cat and The Cobra LP

WAKE UP!

This house is and ancient tomb
Be warned,
Be warned,
Be warned.
Born in 1974
With the blood stains
on the door.

This house is a monument
You see,
You see,
You see.
Erect in 1983
In memory of
what youve done to me.

This house is a freight train
And its mine,
And its mine,
And its mine.
Back in 1989
They found my body
On the MorrisEssex line.

A cord, accord,
A car, a call
The hospital said it would
Gladly repay it all.
Im born, Im bored,
Im not at all.
This body Needs an Overhaul.

The blast from the cannon
Was more than
They could take.
Ever since that summer
Theyve been something
of a flake.
We pray for them at dinner,
We pray for them at dawn,
We pray that when they
grow up
That theyll be dead and gone
We pray that they will
Pass us by
But they keep coming on.

Wake up Im coming over.

Watch the way the milk
has curdled in the cradle.
Theres a rattle underneath
the kitchen table.
Were ignoring it as best
As we are able.
But the air in there is
static and unstable.

Theres a rapping
at the door.

REFORMAT

All nerve endings shut down.
Stiff lipped at the countdown.
All systems are go,
All systems are gough,
All systems are ghosts.

In a can,
In a cupboard,
In a submarine,
There's nothing left inside,
In a basket at the bottom of the guillotine
Is where the sailor cried.
He never said a word
To the jury of the press
And when the ax-blade bit his neck,
"Set me free" is all he said.

In a pixel,
In a portrait,
In a T.V. screen
There's nothing left to hide.
Stitched each instant by the firing electron beam
Let the camera man decide.
He never said a word
To the jury of the press
When the on-air light turned red,
"Cut Away" is all he said.

When he opened it up,
He dropped his coffee cup,
And when the cup hit the ground
The whole damn house came stumbling down.

Good by my memory.
From this point on I'm unsettling.

In Brooklyn we stay home.

REFORMAT!!!
