Cruel Alarm

My sheets like chains, oh so tight A battle with my pillow, last throughout the night Toes peek out, the floor's a shock Just five more minutes on my bedside clock Coffee's brewing, a scent so divine Wish I could stay in this dream of mine Gonna hate that ringin' Gonna dread that sound, honey When Monday's here Feels so heavy In my bed, so steady But you know, darling I'll be hitting that snooze one more time The sun's too bright, it's like a sign The world's turnin', but my clock's a foe Wishing I could disappear, go with the flow But those damn bells, keep ringing clear Wishing for silence, but all I hear Eyes half-open, against the day's new light Dragging my soul, with all my might Mug in my hand, trying to read the signs That it's just another start, in the daily grind [Chorus] But oh, that alarm, it's a cruel old friend Reminding me, the weekend did end
