I literally just had them in my hand. Literally.
[Verse 1]
It’s 2:00 PM and I’m frozen on the sofa in my coat,
Can’t start a single task because my schedule is a moat.
I’ve got a dentist appointment at a quarter to four,
So naturally I’m paralyzed, staring at the floor.
My brain is a browser with seventy tabs open,
Three of them are frozen and there’s techno music floating.
I went into the kitchen to grab a glass of water,
Ended up reorganizing my bookshelf by author.
Still thirsty.
[Verse 2]
Paid the ADHD tax again, it’s getting quite expensive,
My relationship with expiry dates is apprehensive.
Bought a bag of spinach with the highest of intentions,
Now it’s a liquid swamp monster in a drawer of dark dimensions.
Last week I was convinced that my calling was the cello,
Spent three hundred quid to be a classical fellow.
It’s sitting in the corner next to the unicycle gear,
And sourdough starter that I haven’t looked at in a year.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m chasing the dopamine, running down the street,
Losing my sunglasses while they're laying at my feet.
Out of sight, out of mind, everything is gone,
Just a brilliant idea that I won't finish a song...
Yeah, my head is in the clouds but my feet are on the floor,
Can someone please remind me what I came in here for?
[Verse 3]
Met a friend in Soho, she was telling me a story,
About her cousin's wedding which was tragic, long, and gory.
I was looking at her mouth, trying hard to look engaged,
But my brain was researching how the pyramids were staged.
Then I locked onto a rogue piece of lint upon her sleeve,
By the time I snapped back out of it, it was time for us to leave.
I said "Wow, that’s crazy," hoping that it fit the vibe,
She looked at me in horror, I think someone had died.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m chasing the dopamine, running down the street,
Losing my sunglasses while they're laying at my feet.
Out of sight, out of mind, everything is gone,
Just a brilliant idea that I won't finish a song...
Yeah, my head is in the clouds but my feet are on the floor,
Can someone please remind me what I came in here for?
[Bridge]
Walked into Tesco for a single pint of milk.
Came out with a pineapple, some heavily discounted silk,
A pack of AA batteries, a magazine on trains,
And a deep, profound sense of forgetting my own name.
Did I lock the front door? Did I turn off the iron?
Did I reply to that email from my absolute most important client?
(Beat drops back in hard)
Nah, probably fine.
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m chasing the dopamine, running down the street,
Losing my sunglasses while they're laying at my feet.
Out of sight, out of mind, everything is gone,
Just a brilliant idea that I won't finish a song...
Yeah, my head is in the clouds but my feet are on the floor,
Can someone please remind me what I came in here for?
[Outro]
Wait... the iron is definitely still on.
Oh, bloody hell.
