I am lying in my bed

Watching a spider eat the fly

I say :"How is that, it's breakfast TV for you"

A little later I'm sitting by the window looking out

The red army is really blowing up the street



I'm too stale to eat breakfast

So I smell my fingertips

A cup of coffee won't do for me



How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by and they never even try

How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by



Guess it's time for a walk

Just to read some license plates

What is autumn doing creeping up to me

Going on the tube to scream when the train arrives

Rubbing cress on my skin, God it smells so nice



All the same I'd think I'll go on rolling up the hill

If I'm lucky you won't see me



How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by come and ask me why

How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by



Did you know that tuna fish float up to the surface

Belly to the moonlight just to cool down their heart down

'Cause it helps them just to think about the hurtful things

I guess it's just one way to get them some sedation



How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by and they definitely die

How days creep by in the greying sky

How days creep by



How days creep by and they definitely die

How days creep by come and ask me why

How days creep by

How days creep by

How days creep by
