Sitting for hours in the dark
even all night long
Two days didn't eat
I'll have that black coffee now
Days turned to weeks
Forty pounds gone , still no sleep
My mind's stuck , like an LP skip
Saying over and over . . . over and over
Inside the black is dimimg fast
Shivering my skin is as cold as ice
More coffee , my how fine instant tastes
Spins the wheels on mental race
The sun sets once more upon the stage
I bow acknowledging the audience
Thunderous applause inside my head
