Waking Up Tired

(album: In Blue Cave - 1996)

Oh, the nights are long
And I'm so tired of waking up tired
Man, they just drag on and on
And I'm so tired of waking up tired
The company I'm keeping
Won't let me get my sleep in

Oh, I hate the light
And I'm so tired of waking up tired
The morning sun is getting way too bright
And I'm so tired of waking up tired
If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound

Oh, I have to go
But I'm so tired of waking up tired
The lights are on but there is no-one home
'Cause I'm so wired from waking up tired
I need a month of Sundays
To help me cope with Mondays
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and sound

I need a good vacation
From too much recreation

Oh, I'm late again
And I'm so tired, might even get fired
I could blame it on a cancelled train
But I won't try it, I know they won't buy it

If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom until next June
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and sound
I just want to stay right here, safe and sound
