nobody was really sure

4. Woke up fell out of bed
dragged a comb across my head
found my way downstairs and drank a cup
and looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
made the bus in seconds flat
found my way upstairs and had a smoke
somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
5. I read the news today oh boy
