Rude Awakenings

The bed was still warm where I slept

From these hours I wish to forget

With the night still fresh on my breath

I awoke to the grim face of death

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

As I crawled across the floor for the door

From one room I don’t know to the next

There was nothing familiar around

And it just ain’t my style to leave the seat down

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

I pulled on my clothes still half in a dream

As I struggled with my conscience & a multidirectional stream

What ya take her for

I buried my loneliness with her for the night

Then I left with new symptoms no antidepressant could cure

What ya take her for

She took me for all I was worth

May I remind you that ain’t much at all

A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times

As it turns out you weren’t worth the call

I though it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

But now I’m left with a daily reminder of you

With equal surprise she opened her eyes

Sat up & shouted “for Christ sakes who the hell are you!”

What she take ya for

She cooked me my breakfast then called me a cab

Shoved me out the door & threw the five dollar fare in my face

What she take ya for

She took me for all I was worth

May I remind you that ain’t much at all

A meaningless gesture in the meanest of times

As it turns out you weren’t worth the call

I though it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

I thought it was all just a nightmare

I guess it was true

But now I’m left with a daily reminder of you
