Five Cups of Coffee

[Verse 1]
When I left here this morning
It was just like before
You say nothing changes
Passing time around here
Stole a long string of pearls
That I pawned downtown
Gonna buy me some good fun
Back where no one can see

[Chorus]
And the long black dream is over
As the snow falls on and on
And it takes five cups of coffee
To calm down before I sleep

[Verse 2]
Let the sky soak all my clothes
Way back in the alley
All of the red leaves
Mixed up in her pew
Take the chance that I left you
Knowing where you might need me
So easy to believe
In someone I'd never see

[Chorus]
And the long black dream is over
As the snow falls on and on
And it takes five cups of coffee
To calm down before I sleep

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And the long black dream is over
As the snow falls on and on
And it takes five cups of coffee
To calm down before I sleep
