Don't Wake Daddy Lyrics - Tragically Hip

Sled dogs after dinner 

close their eyes on 

the howlin' wastes 

Kurt Cobain, reincarnated, 

sighs and licks his face 

then they drift past strips 

of Serengeti and the gates 

of Sleepy Hollow too 

you can pause in wonder, 

they paused in wonder and 

yea, I paused in wonder too 

just don't wake daddy

They can lay their heads 

on their futon-beds, 

so many miles from home 

you can teach your children 

some fashion sense and they 

fashion some of their own 

for when the policy-weary 

commune on the untamed land 

through white sheers 

whispers in their ears, 

you're damned 

and don't wake daddy 

You can stuff yer void 

with the asteroid 

that's hurtlin toward the earth 

you can drop the bomb 

that restores some calm 

then promises rebirth 

just don't wake daddy

It? s the perfect time now 

for an eclectic choice 

they're all asleep but us now 

it's time to hear your voice 

Sing to end all songs 

to end all songs
