can I be excused 
from what I was doing but what was I doing 
I need to buckle up 
we make noise so pretty that closing time is only 
a matter of time 

as far as I'm concerned 
we lost by a landslide and I think that just might 
keep pissing me off 
I didn't see it coming I never see it coming 
not even this time 

isn't a wake-up call 
supposed to tell you something 
call me again sometime 
because now I just learned nothing 
you need to explain 
to me over coffee why you said this could be 
the worst day of the year 

as far as I'm concerned 
I won't get into the fact we turned into  
a couple of ghosts 
yearning to burn and yearning to rise and 
yet locked in time and space 

isn't a wake-up call 
supposed to tell you something 
call me again sometime 
because now I just learned nothing 
you need to explain 
to me over coffee why you said this could be 
the worst day of the year
