Les Savy Fav Yawn, Yawn, Yawn Lyrics

One was a piper
One was a rat
They couldn't decipher
How it came to that
And at the cock-a-doodle
They crawled out of their beds
As if the rooster knew
Each rising dawn they dread

Lost in a flurry
Looking for land mines
Hid in a ribcage
Back at the front line
And when the sun is falling
They crawl out of their skins
They hear the moonlight calling
Them from this mess they're in

Take deep breaths and waste sweet seconds
The late day beckons
The late day beckons
And if you save it, it will slip away
Spend seven nights like Saturday
Yawn, yawn, yawn
We're all long gone
If we get lucky, we'll be dead by dawn
So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!
I want to get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on! Charging the windmill
And missing the mark
Blinded by sunlight
While building an ark
I've got a million dollars
Made of ten million dimes
Paid for a million failures
Of others' good advice

Take deep breaths and waste sweet seconds
The late day beckons
The late day beckons
And if you save it, it will slip away
Spend seven nights like Saturday
Yawn, yawn, yawn
We're all long gone
If we get lucky, we'll be dead by dawn
So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!
I want to get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!

Yawn, yawn, yawn
We're all long gone
If we get lucky, we'll be dead by dawn
So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!
I want to get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!
