You wake and you dress, Wash the dirt from underneath your fingernails It's a system and it seldom ever fails To kill these moments before you race to face the day
You sleep on the train, you get hypnotised by the morning rain As the caffeine in your belly wears away You're not sure what you're doing But you do it all the same You guessed, I'm impressed
It's all a mistake And the clock keeps ticking away Every moment that I waste It's all a mistake
The sun came up with a grudge against the puddles in the yard As we trudge with certainty towards the car And look up in the mirror to see the wreckage that we are The office awaits, and you never can afford to let it down And the pressure in your head begins to mount As we're caught out by the traffic on our way across the town
It's all a mistake And these people keep chipping away at me And I don't have what it takes It's all a mistake.
