Now it's 4PM
Just walked through the door
Slept all last night
Now I just wanna sleep more
Drop all my stuff
Go to my room and lie down
Pull the blankets up close
No time to wear my nightgown

There's something pounding in my head
Just wanna go back to bed
Can't wait for this day to be done
But now I'm late gotta run

Now it's 7AM
Clock has gotta be wrong
Gotta work in half an hour
How'd I sleep so long?
Everyone's out and about
The city is busy and booming
Usually at this time
Ottawa's sleeping or grooming

There's something pounding in my head
Just wanna go back to bed
Can't wait for this day to be done
But now I'm late gotta run

This is gonna be a long day
Get to work 6 minutes late
Can I make it through today?
Might have to cancel my date
Now it's 8AM
Why is the sun not rising?
Is this the end of the world?
Is there something I'm not realizing?

There's something pounding in my head
Just wanna go back to bed
Can't wait for this day to be done
Why can't I see the sun?

Now it's 10PM
The announcer says through his grin
The radio reveals it all
Turns out I never slept in

There's something pounding through my head
Just wanna go back to bed
Now I know why I cannot see the sun
Cuz this day hasn't even begun

The evening it wasn't my clock
It was a truck backing up full of stock
The evening it wasn't my clock
It was a truck backing up full of stock
