Out of bed just after one
Down in time to catch the Sun
All the bugs are at their business now the flowers are in bloom
We take a note of their perfume
Underneath the pale spectre of the Moon
And I just stand there waiting
Getting my sunbeams
Last night's pasta in a tub
Out the fridge for lunch and breakfast
But as I sit down to eat I hear a song riding the breeze
"Happy birthday to Eloise"
Then mum and dad both let out a cheer
They're gonna throw a party another year
And I should take a walk for a bit
As I head up the road
A private ambulance zooms off into the distance
In silence
All the shops are closed
With rainbows painted on the glass
Covering notes
That they hope to see us soon
But right now
There's not much they can do
I dodge a jogger or two
Back at home I play the game
Rewatch repeats
And set a call up with a friend
A means towards an end
Till we can meet again
"Hey, so, how are you doing?"
"I'm OK, you know, the usual kinda weird"
So we animate the cosmos stuck in our minds
Eventually birdsong heralds the dawn
I can't stifle my yawns
I make my bed up after I floss
And tuck in tightly
For a new day
