The alarm clock is ringing There is no time for breakfast Just a coffee to get the machine rolling The cigarette vapor throws a fog behind me On my way to the next coffeeshop People pass by like shadows As if I was not awake yet I have to wake up quickly To start my day yet And when I sleep The daily nightmare is over Still waters run deep But they are lonely and cold all over At work I go to the coffee machine I always keep my change When I am pausing, depends on an empty cup Intoxicated, people and the day pass by Until I find myself with a beer in my hand in the living room
