lyrics

In the morning I climb out of bed,
last night's dreams running through my head
I stumble round, dropping things on the ground.
I flip the switch on my life support machine
And watch the light turn from red to green
I feel strong, I keep moving along.

So don't come near me, with a weak cup of tea
Before I give you a hug, you need to fill my mug
It keeps me alive, I have the will to survive
I just can't carry on, until my drink is all gone.

And I know I can be mean without caffeine
And life seems so obscene yeah.

Trapped inside my mortal soul
I need a mug to make me whole
Just grind the beans, oh you know what this means
Yes I need a double shot,
Come on barista give it all you got
I need that high, before it all goes awry.

Macchiato, flat white, you need to get it right
Americano, one shot, is that the best you've got
Here's my reusable mug, for that dose of the drug
So cut me some slack, before I chug it back.

And I know I can be mean without caffeine
And life seems so obscene yeah.

Guitar solo

So don't come near me, with a weak cup of tea
Before I give you a hug, you need to fill my mug
It keeps me alive, I have the will to survive
I just can't carry on, until my drink is all gone.

And I know I can be mean without caffeine
And life seems so obscene yeah.
