Caffeine Bomb

(album: Fishing For Luckies - 1994)

Eyes dried tight, gotta get myself together
Need a kick-start cocktail, 10% coffee with a
High-rise, family-size, guaranteed to catonise
The little bit of brain I got a-hanging on from last night

I need a double take, adjust to get awake
And try to counteract the hollow feeling nature makes
It's gonna work a treat, gonna get me on my feet
It's a teasing little tonic with a kick like a mule and a skip on the beat

It ain't right, it ain't wrong, I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
Too sweet, too strong, I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a ca-ca-ca-ca caffeine bomb

Over-do the sugar and the coffee and the whisky
In my biggest mug 'til the varnish starts to melt
I gotta wake up shake any webbing I'm a-shredding
Any grogginess I felt before I sweated all the poison from my body to my quilt

And it's been too long, I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
What a buzz, what a song, I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca caffeine bomb

Hangover, so hungover, pour me a doctor, send it over
Something that'll stop my legs from shaking
Something that'll stop my head from aching
Hangover, so hungover, breath of a juiced-up holy roller pounding

Baby can't you see I'm shitting brown water
It's a case of easy come and easy go
I need a caffeine bomb to wake me in the morning
I need a caffeine bomb to get me to the show
"Oh no, I think I'm gonna throw..."

Hands all sticky and I'm spilling all the whisky
On myself, my friends, my dog, my floor
My God, my head feels like something crawled inside it
But the medicine I ordered should be kicking any second
And I gotta be getting me more

So let's go, let's get it on
I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
Faye Wray, King Kong
I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a caffeine bomb
I need a bomb I need a ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca caffeine bomb

I need a caffeine bomb
I need a caffeine bomb
I need a caffeine bomb
I need a caffeine bomb
