lyrics

It's Monday morning. Code awaits
A task devoid of thanks
My heart is tanked
My spirit sank
My mind and screen both blank

I draw the cup towards my lips
In just a moment's time
With xanthine
All crystalline
Im feeling fit and fine

Now bursting with the energy of twelve supercolliders
My fingers flying freely like a pair of wired spiders

And all through my veins this peculiar feeling
A spinal chord chorus of synapses squealing
A car chase in my bloodstream forever free-wheeling
If anyone needs me, I'll be on the ceiling

Cafe diem! My fingertips
This working day will seize
With careless ease
And expertise
On battered number keys

But if I don't come down again
I'll end up unemployed
And paranoid
My soul destroyed
By perky alkaloid

A-shaking on the couch alone, defeated and deflated
And sweating mocha latte till I'm all decaffeinated

And all through my veins this peculiar feeling
A spinal chord chorus of synapses squealing
A car chase in my bloodstream forever free-wheeling
If anyone needs me, I'll be on the ceiling

INSTRUMENTAL

I dig my nails into the tiles and watch the world beneath
A baby with a turning head and yellow-stained milk teeth

And all through my veins this peculiar feeling
A spinal chord chorus of synapses squealing
A car chase in my bloodstream forever free-wheeling
If anyone needs me, I'll be on the ceiling

The peal of this choir's no longer appealing
A curse on this cafe and all their drug-dealing!
I swear by tomorrow, I'll switch to darjeeling
If anyone needs me, I'll be on the ceiling
