Routines

As you wake up in the morning

Don't be alarmed by the sounds of passing cars

It's just the morning exodus to work

And I assure you, they'd rather be in bed too

Monday morning has come at last

A good mug of tea will keep you energised way up until lunchtime

Because then, It's time to venture out into the rain

I should have brought the raincoat

Then you see

How could it be

Because...

Over and over

The same routines

I'll be on my way

Until the sky is clear

Find yourself in the dullness of a dreary afternoon

It could be worse...

Nothing's flooded yet (or caught on fire for that matter)

God bless the embankment (whatever good that's going to do)

The clock ticks on and on and then you realise something terrible

A monumental mistake made by only fools and accidental arsonists

I left the oven on

Because...

Over and over

The same routines

I'll be on my way

Until the sky is clear

As you attempt to salvage what's left of your belongings

You start to ponder where it all went wrong

30 years behind an office desk

Yet still a life without purpose

You ain't getting any younger

Between bomb sites, burnt houses and torrential rain

The world keeps turning

But you have to remember you have a lot of time left (even though your bones are melting)

Seize the day before it wastes away

You know...

Over and over

The same routines

I'll be on my way

Until the sky is clear

And I mean that

Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo
