Lee Scott – Eight O Clock In The Morning Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Big dogs order chaos, close the curtains and dine
- And it’s fine but saving the world is a crime
- While sinners circle the shrine
- And the tin army keep the wooden workers inline
- Chop, chop, dig, dig, until there’s nothing left
- Knock, knock, who’s there? Probably death
- Found a sense of humour and lost your breath
- Laughin’ then, back in ten, worry not, practice zen
- While screaming fuck the cops!
- The only advice I’ve got is live and stay positive
- But keep the receipts for any props you give
- Until the witch hunts heading to where them corporate bosses live
- Political agitator getting stoned like the Sabbath breaker
- Money is the root of all evil
- And I see the Fascinators we call people
- What did the post mortem say?
- They switched him off cause he awoke all the way
- Don’t answer any phone calls today
- Before it’s eight o’clock in the morning pray!
Chorus
- We make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- We make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- I make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- They are the predator you’re the prey
Verse 2:
- It’s a still summers day but it sounds like autumn
- When I’m walking on the remains of memory lane
- Like dry leaves that crunch beneath me feet
- But when you look it’s just the concrete cooking in the heat
- On a long and lonely street, without a soul to greet
- Or a dog to show its teeth
- I think aloud and address a none existent crowd and talk frank
- And prior to this moment it’s all blank
- And these empty thoughts are intricate
- You can see the air forcing itself around you as you’re walking into it
- Feel it tingling from your toes to your fingertips
- Only in death will you understand what existence is
- But between me and you, life is like
- Flickering lights in the rear view
- An incessant need for new
- A constant redrafting of the morals we adhere too
- Then one day you’ll awake in the same place
- No one around no trace of life that isn’t past tense to grace your sight
- And with the click of your fingers day is night
- Switch the full spectrum on and off as you please
- No God’s to drop to your knees too
Bridge:
- Chop, chop, dig, dig
- Chop, chop, dig, dig
Chorus
- We make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- We make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- I make it past eight o’clock in the morning pray
- They are the predator you’re the prey
Outro:
- Chop, chop, dig, dig
- Chop, chop, dig, dig
