Coffees And Coloured Ties

I watch the hours go by
I haven't seen blue sky
In five long days

And my pale white skin
Under the fluorescent light
Reminds me that I'm not ok

I'm staring into a blank screen
Is this really all there is?
What I want is just a little different
To coffees and coloured ties

I love the people here
But they live to work its clear
They need a holiday

And the scheduled conferences
Are about agendas that
I don't give a fuck about

I'm staring into a blank screen
Is this really all there is?
What I want is just a little different
To coffees and coloured ties

I watch the hours go by
I haven't seen blue sky
In five long days

All the stats and the targets and deadlines
And bullshit reports and the acronyms
Are killing me

I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it
I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm doing it

I was watching Rage one night in bed
When a crazy thought popped in my head
Iggy Pop looked so damn cool
I figured I could do that too
It was time to try out something new

I will start a rock star band
A life of hotel rooms and screaming fans
Groupies giving blowjobs on the tour bus
While I'm counting the money and snorting the drugs
And drinking beer till I throw up

So on Monday at work I resigned
Leaving the nine to five weekdays behind
I grew my hair and I learned to sing
So that all the girls have sex with me
And I'll be rich and famous you will see
