Set Up Lyrics

I dream of a sound that I feel when I'm down, it turns laughs to a frown, leaves scars on your crown

There's nothing so weird as never talking out loud

Knock on a door, strange men outside, they wanna teach me all the ways to keep a woman dry

I told them before, I'd never tell a lie

But I

Woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, a song wasn't enough

I got up and it was already gone

Gone

I wanna walk 'round your town, have you show me around, show me sweet streets of pain and things never said aloud

I'll make field recordings, and I'll spread them around

All this death on your streets, and fires in your home, from the fist of a songbird comes your only hope

If she can teach me a song, I'll let your city go

And I

Woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, a song wasn't enough

I got up and it was already gone

Gone

Gone

Gone

If you turn your back on the man with the axe, you can forget your facts, they're not coming back

You've had an awful lot of warnings for a sneak attack

I walk down your street like a dog in the blitz, I stop to shit on the corner and then I piss on your fence

'til a van picks me up to erase my head

And I

Woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, while you were setting up

I woke up, a song wasn't enough

I got up and it was already gone

I'll never know just what I saw

My alarm goes off at a quarter to four

There's no more dreams of stories and songs

I'm not waking up anymore

I'm not waking up anymore

I'm not waking up anymore
