lyrics

You lay all out these reasons why you're staying in bed
You say "it's all in my head", oh yeah it's all in your head
You can't remember a time you did a word that was said
You feel as if you were dead, you feel as if you were dead

And these hours fade away
As you sleep in falling rain
And these hours fade away

Your twenty-something summers seem to pass in a blaze
You walk around in a daze, what do you do with your days?
Your sentimental wanderings leave a hole in your brain
But a lantern in fog still moves ahead
Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth
As a familiar song runs through your head
Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth
As all these songs just wander through your head

And these hours fade away
As you sleep in falling rain
And these hours fade away

You lay out all these reasons why you're staying in bed
You say, "it's all in my head," oh yeah its all in your head
It's time for you to listen to the word that was said
It's time to get out of bed, it's time to get out of bed
Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth
As a familiar song runs through your head
Yeah these alarm vibrations you can feel in your teeth
As all these songs just wander through your head
