Woke up, fell out of bed
Bangun, jatuh dari tempat tidur
Dragged a comb across my head
Menarik sisir di rambutku
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
Menemukan jalan turun dan minum secangkir kopi
And looking up I noticed I was late
Dan saat melihat ke atas, aku sadar aku terlambat
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Menemukan jaketku dan mengambil topi
Made the bus in seconds flat
Sampai di bus dalam hitungan detik
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Menemukan jalan ke atas dan merokok
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
