Lyrics
In a grey shirt
And a black tie
Always said I wouldn't be that guy
Looking over
To the outside
Through the window
At a blue sky
Get the job done
Make the best of it
How many smoke breaks can I get away with?
Then you leave alone
It's a long drive
By the time you eat
It's a black sky
Don't wake me from another dream
Because this is no life to lead
You can tell me that the grass is green
But it's overshadowed by my memories
Look in the mirror
Into glazed eyes
Your subservient best before the sunrise
You're not moving
You're going up a size
And the black tie
Feels a little tight
Office emails
Straight to your phone
In case you wanted to relax in your own home
At least you've got something to read when you're on the throne
All the colours in your life turned monochrome
Don't wake me from another dream
Because this is no life to lead
You can tell me that the grass is green
But it's overshadowed by my memories
I won't watch another summer through the glass
Discussing last night's tele to make the time pass
Wake up, work, get fucked up and repeat
Getting up at six after getting in at three
But you've gotta go out 'cause it's your only release
From the fact you're only making other people money
Find someone to hold and have a couple of kids
Just so they can suffer those consequences
Don't wake me from another dream
Because this is no life to lead
I'm becoming all the fears I feed
I'm safer in my memories
I'm safer in my memories
