Rolls Royce
Pizzicato Five Lyrics

this morning as you woke up
As you get up today, what is the first thing on your mind?

what was the first thing you thought?
What is the first thought that comes to mind as you start your day?

was it about the bad news you heard last night in bed or something like that?
Did you wake up thinking about the negative news you received before going to sleep?

today as always under your window there is a car waiting for you
Just like any other day, there's a car parked outside your window, waiting for you.

a yellow rolls royce, a yellow rolls royce
The car waiting for you is a bright yellow Rolls Royce.

was it about the new lover you're supposed to meet tonight?
Could it be that you woke up thinking about the new romantic partner you're meant to see later tonight?

today as usual outside your door there's a car waiting for you
As always, there's a car parked outside your door, waiting for you.

the rolls royce you always dreamt of, the rolls royce you bought when you became a star, a yellow rolls royce, a yellow rolls royce
The bright yellow Rolls Royce awaiting you is the same car you always wished for and bought once you became famous.

your life speeds up each time faster and faster
Your existence appears to move quicker each day.

you and god stepped on the accelerator
Your life and spiritual journey are rapidly progressing.

stop the car, you get off to call someone, is it the lover from last night or is it your old lover?
You ask the driver to stop the car so you can make a phone call. You contemplate whether to contact your present or former romantic partner.

yer gonna ask your lover to feed the pet, a yellow rolls royce, a yellow rolls royce
You decide to ask your lover to feed your pet while you're out. The yellow Rolls Royce is parked outside as usual.

the rolls royce you always dreamt of, the rolls royce you bought at the crossroads of your life, the rolls royce you bought when you were happy, a yellow rolls royce, a yellow rolls royce
The yellow Rolls Royce parked outside is the same dream car you acquired when you were content and at a pivotal juncture of your life.

did god warn you somehow
Do you believe that a divine force cautioned you?

one day as you wake up you don't really know where you are
At some point, you will eventually wake up with no clear idea about your location.

eventually you realise that the bed you slept on is not your own bed
After a while, you come to the realization that the bed you woke up in is not yours.

from the shut curtains a dim blue light sifts through and your watch is not under your pillow
The closed curtains permit a faint blue hue to seep through, and your wristwatch is not where you usually keep it.

you do not even know whether tis morning or night because of all the drinks you had last night
You can't differentiate if it's morning or evening due to the volume of alcohol consumed the previous night.

your head feels heavy and the person who is sleeping beside you is not someone you know
You feel groggy, and the individual lying next to you is a stranger.

wait a minute no actually it is someone you met for the first time at the party last night
After some thought, you realize that the person next to you is someone you met for the first time at the bash the prior evening.

you eventually notice the sound of thin rain outside and then you light a cigarette
You ultimately hear the faint patter of precipitation reach your ears, and you light a cigarette.

this is something that has happened many times in your life and it still will
This scenario has occurred on numerous occasions in the past and will undoubtedly occur again.
