5 O'clock In The Morning Lyrics - Singles - Godley And Creme

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
