Where the Wild Things Are Lyrics

Album: Reload

So wake up sleepy one

It’s time to save your world

Steal dreams and give to you

Shoplift a thought or two

All children touch the sun

Burn fingers one by one, by one

Will this earth be good to you?

Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up sleepy one

It’s time to save your world

You’re where the wild things are

Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

Big eyes to open soon

Believing all under sun and moon

But does heaven know you’re here?

And did they give you smiles or tears, no, no tears

Will this earth be good to you?

Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up sleepy one

It’s time to save your world

You’re where the wild things are

Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

You swing your rattle down

(Hand puppets storm the beach, fire trucks trapped out of reach)

Call to arms, the trumpets sound

(Hand puppets storm the beach, fire trucks trapped out of reach, all clowns reinforce the rear, slingshots fire into the air)

Toy horses start the charge

(All clowns reinforce the rear, slingshots fire into the air, stuffed bears hold the hill till death, crossfire from the marionettes)

Robot chessmen standing guard

(Stuffed bears hold the hill till death, crossfire from the marionettes, we shall never surrender)

All you children touch the sun

Burn your fingers one by one

Will this earth be good to you?

Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up sleepy one

It’s time to save your world

You’re where the wild things are

Now, toy soldiers off to war, off to war, off to war

So close your little eyes
