To children of the world and daddy's little girl
Reminds you that you're late
But you don't know why, don't know why
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, your time is nearly over
So stay and breathe new life
Your pen is running out of ink
Wake up you've had an operation
You're in demand but out of sync
Everybody loves a happy ending
No more the supernova
Ideals above your station
Don't you just love a happy ending?
Think about the wasted time spending
As dead as autumn leaves
You try to see the light
Once more my dear friends to the brink
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
And grow a set of wings like a butterfly
Too much reality
Give up the great pretender
They're really kickin' up a stink
Everybody loves a happy ending
To give your God a bone
Everything is moving faster than you think
Think about the wasted time spending
You try to take your time
Watching mother nature's knees bending
Watching mother nature's knees bending
But you tow the line, tow the line
You never found the missing link
Fill up your bath and kitchen sink
A nod is as good as a wink
No action guaranteed
With baby eyes of green
And all your love will shine on everyone
The grass is always green on the other side
The darkness of the day a curse in every way
You know you're only bluffing
Oh yeah well so do I
You should be happy in the pink
They tell you on the phone
The guardian at the gate
Wake up you're holding on to nothing
Wake up you're on your own agenda
