Complaints and Extra Coffee Stains
Ragamuffs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This warm bed always tempts me
"Hey stay back I've got more sleep right here for you"
I feel victimized by its mesmerizing comfort and stability

My heart is set on snoozing
This ol' clock has been abused too many times
I've got ambitions that are waiting to be conquered and the day is looking prime
But I'm so sick and tired of always waking up
My life is feeling dull and this world is so corrupt
No cup of Jo can cure this artificial pain
I'll leave you with complaints and extra coffee stains

So groggy and lethargic
I'm not ready for the hours yet to come
One more precious minute left before exposing myself to the sun

Wait for the weekend coming
Hours pass I'll still be resting up my head
Don't try to bother me I'm slumbering in cozy sheets of clouds right here instead

But I'm so sick and tired of always waking up
My life is feeling dull and this world is so corrupt
No cup of Jo can cure this artificial pain
I'll leave you with complaints and extra coffee stains

And I'll say ooo doo doo doo Z to Z to Z
Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to sleep

And I'll say ooo doo doo doo Z to Z to Z
Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to sleep

And I'll say ooo doo doo doo Z to Z to Z
Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to sleep





And I'll say ooo doo doo doo Z to Z to Z
Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to Z to sleep
