Lyrics
I like to let the alarm clock ring for a while
I like to let the teapot sing a long song too
A crossword puzzle on my table for one
And it’s been three days since I even seen the sun
And I may or may not take a shower today
And I may or may not tell the boss I’ll be in late
Running dirty fingers through a seven day beard
Wondering who’s noticed that I’ve disappeared.
So, what about you?
A smile in the hallway
all your schedule will allow?
You said we’ll have to grab a cup of coffee,
sometime real soon
I think we better have that coffee now
I really think we better have it now.
My dad just got too tired of that hospital bed
My wife just got too tired of the ceiling overhead
I’ll get the kids for Christmas whether they like it or not
And I’ll betcha they have no idea they’re all I got
Except a pile of bills that I’ll never pay
Except a pile of promises in jars of clay
But what about you?
A nod in the hallway
from your furrowed brow?
You said we’ll have to grab a cup of coffee,
sometime real soon
I think we better have that coffee now
I think we really better have it now.
I’ll turn off all the lights and I’ll unlock the door
I’ll turn down the bed but never make it anymore
I’ll wonder how a man can feel so unfulfilled
I’ll go down to the store, get this prescription filled
And if there’s still no changes to my sad routine
Still no flashing lights on my answering machine
Then they’ll be one less person here to be ignored
Then they’ll paint a new name on the mailbox next to yours.
Chorus
I like to let the teapot sing a long song too

And it’s been three days since I even seen the sun
And I may or may not take a shower today
And I may or may not tell the boss I’ll be in late
Running dirty fingers through a seven day beard
Wondering who’s noticed that I’ve disappeared.
So, what about you?
A smile in the hallway
all your schedule will allow?
You said we’ll have to grab a cup of coffee,

I think we better have that coffee now
I really think we better have it now.

My wife just got too tired of the ceiling overhead
I’ll get the kids for Christmas whether they like it or not
And I’ll betcha they have no idea they’re all I got

Except a pile of promises in jars of clay

You said we’ll have to grab a cup of coffee,

I think we really better have it now.

Still no flashing lights on my answering machine
