When you woke up this morning everything was gone
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong
Ringin' like a bell from your head down to your toes
Like some voice tryin'a tell ya there's somethin' you should know
Last night you was flyin' but today you're so low
Ain't it times like these makes you wonder if you'll ever know
The meaning of things as they appear to the others
Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers
Don't you wish you didn't function, don't you wish you didn't think
Beyond the next pay check and the next little drink
Well you do so make up your mind to go on
'Cause when you woke up this mornin' everything you had was gone
