Waking the Witch

Kate Bush Kate Bush

Wake up!
A good morning, ma'am, your early morning call

You must wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up, man!
Wake up, child! Pay attention!
Come on, wake up!
Wake up, love!
We should make the night, but see your little light's alive!
Stop that lyin' and a-sleepin' in bed--get up!
Ma needs a shower, get out of bed!

Little light
Can you not see that little light up there?
Where?
There!
Where?
Over here!
You still in bed?
Wake up, sleepy-head!

We are of the going water and the gone
We are of water
In the holy land of water

Don't you know you've kept him waiting?
Look who's here to see you!

Listen to me, listen to me, baby, listen, baby, help me
Baby! Help me, help me! Listen to me, talk to me!

You won't burn
Red, red roses
You won't bleed
Pinks and posies
Confess to me, girl
Red, red roses
Go down!

Spiritus sanctus in nomine
Spiritus sanctus in nomine
Spiritus sanctus in nomine
Spiritus sanctus in nomine
Spiritus sanctus in nomine

Poor little thing
Red, red roses
The blackbird
Pinks and posies
Wings in the water
Red, red roses, go down
Go down
Pinks and posies

Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno

What is it, child?

Bless me, father
Bless me, father, for I have sinned
Red, red roses
Help me, listen to me!
Red, red rose
I question your innocence!

Help this blackbird!
She's a witch!
There's a stone around my leg
Uh! Damn you, woman!
Help this blackbird!
There's a stone around my leg
What say you, good people?
Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Help this blackbird!
I am responsible for your actions

Oh-hoh-hoh!
Not guilty!
Help this blackbird!
Wake the witch!
Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!
