Runnin’ down my batteries
Layin’ me out to rest
Knowin’ when that is
Five hours
I wake up empty, stressed
And I’m diggin’ myself into a hole
And these days I just work
Oh well, once I had so much time
And lately I’ve forgotten who I am
Sleep too late, my energy just drained away
And now, my mind is workin’ overtime
It’s been a long day
Such a long day
And while all my contemporaries
(all my friends)
are sitting in college now
(sitting in a desk)
My education is dragging, dragging, innit
My guitar to London town
And the thing that wakes me when
I could sleep instead
Is the thought that tonight
I could fall back into bed
And lately I’ve forgotten who I am
Lately my energy just drained away
And now, my mind is workin’ overtime
It’s been a long day
Such a long day
Recently my head
It ain’t recharged as such
And sleep can only cure
A restless mind so much
Lately I’ve forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now my mind is workin’ overtime
It’s been a long day
It’s been a long long long day
It’s been a long long long day
It’s been a long day
So long, so long, so long
