Lyrics

Alarm clock screaming in the gray
Backpacks crowd the hallway
Toast pops up and burns to coal
Someone lost the TV remote

Lunchbox missing homework late
Shoelace knots that won't behave
Milk goes flying on the floor
Dog comes sliding through the door

Sit down fast crunch now what?
Someone's lunch was under my butt
One kid coughs and I just know
Here comes yogurt on my coat

And then I sip my coffee
Oh then I sip my coffee
The storm backs off me
Yeah the world backs off me

I sip my coffee
I sip my coffee
Morning can't stop me
No morning can't stop me

I sip my coffee
I sip my coffee
Morning can't stop me
No morning can't stop me

Fluorescent lights hum overhead
Emails stacking up unread
Printer screaming in the hall
Boss says need those numbers call

Two reports due yesterday
Three more meetings on the way
Staff all knocking at my door
Quick question then they ask four more

Final slide almost complete
Charts and numbers clean and neat
Cursor spins the whole thing dies
One blue screen before my eyes

And then I sip my coffee
Oh then I sip my coffee
The storm backs off me
Yeah the world backs off me

I sip my coffee
I sip my coffee
Morning can't stop me
No morning can't stop me

I sip my coffee
I sip my coffee
Morning can't stop me
No morning can't stop me

Drive-through line wrapped round the block
Brake lights glowing engines locked
Slide in place one car to go
Just one cup and I'll survive

Guy ahead orders half the town
Sixty lattes pass them down
Speaker crackles can't hear a thing
Sorry ma'am what did you mean

Finally reach the little glass
Lean in close relief at last
Coffee please the window guy says
Sorry that dude bought the rest

No rising rhythm left to climb
Hands tight on the wheel this time
Morning pressing like a weight
Every nerve begins to grate

I want my coffee
I want my coffee
Right now right now
Or I'll burn it all down

I need my coffee
I need my coffee
The storm has come
You vile scum

I want my coffee
I want my coffee
The world must end
I'll rage without my blend

I want my coffee
I want my coffee
Coffee's how I survive
I'll burn it all alive

I want my coffee now
I want my coffee now
