Coffee and Confusion

Cathy wakes and wipes her eyes and stares out of the window
it's 5am the summer's gone, the skies are ashen grey,
splashed with orange hints of neon's sleeping city sky-glow
no room for stars behind those misty miles. .
the city stirs and something evil smiles

Coffee and confusion, a reflection of a sad face
in the kitchen window, christ! another day is here
new blue brightens up the sky, a postman in a raincoat
walks to the end of streets he's walked for years
slowly turns the corner, disappears

They promise us a star to chase, they'll promise you a rainbow,
they promised Cathy happy ever after and amen
too tired to react and much too shallow to be hateful
we're fed our design, then fed some more
cathy grabs her coat, walks out the door

Not finished yet, but I'll post a WAV file soon. You'll be singing along like a right bastard!
