Lyrics

FOALS — Wake Me Up

Wake me up

Wake me up

I'm walking through a dream

I'm walking through the finest place I've ever seen

Hey man, won't you wake me up?

Said, hey, man, won't you wake me up?

I'm walking through the fire

Defiant on the wire, burning up my desire

Foals: "It's going to go off"

With their brand new single '2am' out, and a new album on the way, Foals are ready to party.

2022 Albums Preview: Foals: “We weren’t particularly interested in writing any more heavy rock songs”
