Lyrics Godley & Creme

Godley & Creme

5 O'clock In The Morning

It's 5 o'clock in the morning

You're lying in your bed

You wonder why it's not morning in your head

The day is open for business

But still your eyes are closed

You spread your dreams

Like butter on your toast

Open all the windows

And we're rolling up the blinds

All across the world

Are people wiping sleep from tired eyes

The faces on the curtains

All the Jekylls and the Hydes are gone

It's 6 o'clock in the morning

You're only half awake

The other half is shaving

And the toothpaste like a snake

Has slithered out the door of the bathroom

And it's hissing in your ear

Get up, get out, get out of here

The sound of people being people

Slowly fills the air

And all the crazy things they do

To get from here to there

And when the one you're holding

Runs her fingers through your hair

You're on

Shifting through the gears

It's 8 o'clock in the morning

It's been 8 o'clock for years

The factory gates are opening

To let the night shift out

And the day shift in

It's 9 o'clock in the morning

You've been this way before

But something seems to be different

And you can't quite put your finger on it at all
