Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jenny said "No, I don't want to go home"
Screamed at the sky and she swallowed her phone
Swallowed her car and the TV too
Burnt her hair and her anorak blue
Looked for the cat that had swallowed a fly
Swallowed that too and she didn’t know why
Didn’t know why everybody must die
Didn’t know why every lover must sigh
Jenny said "I wanna shed my skin"
Fly like a bee to the tunnel within
Spring like a hare through the woods in the dark
Eat my bones and my lungs and heart
Turn into air, be gone on the breeze
Over land and sea, land and sea
Didn’t know why everybody must die
Didn’t know why every lover must sigh
Didn’t know why every river must cry
Didn’t know why every day goes by
[Refrain]
Didn’t know why
Didn’t know why
Didn’t know why
Didn’t know why
[Chorus]
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Jenny said "No, I don't want to go home"
Screamed at the sky and she swallowed her phone
Swallowed her car and the TV too
Burnt her hair and her anorak blue
Looked for the cat that had swallowed a fly
Swallowed that too and she didn't know why
Didn't know why everybody must die
Didn't know why every lover must sigh
Jenny said "I wanna shed my skin"
Fly like a bee to the tunnel within
Spring like a hare through the woods in the dark
Eat my bones and my lungs and heart
Turn into air, be gone on the breeze
Wake up in the morning
Over land and sea, land and sea
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Didn't know why everybody must die
Wake up in the morning
Didn't know why every lover must sigh
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Didn't know why every river must cry
Wake up in the morning
Didn't know why every day goes by
Everybody eat your lungs and heart
Wake up in the morning
