Daydreamers Diary

Monday mornings breakfast
Probably in bed
Waitresses attending
Sundaynight was mad

But in my hand
Out in the cold
There is a paper to be sold.
Good morning ma’am
Thanks very much
People avoiding me to touch.

Tuesday is for tennis
and picking up a date
in my new Ferrari.
Tonight will be so great.

Whatever happenend
What went wrong
And then I used to be so strong
I had a job,
a wife and son
They’re all gone through what I’ve done.

Wednessday will be lazy,
won’t have had much sleep.
Taking home my girlfriend,
never heard her weep.

If I could only
change the clock
and turn it back some thousand days.
I’d move away from heavy drinks
and pass along the betting place.

Thursday’s for the barbers
and try another suit.
There will be a party,
must be looking good.

Where will I sleep
this freezing night?
Salvation Army might be right.
But if they have
no room for me,
I’ll have to find somewhere to be.

Friday to the movies
Afterwards some wine
Presents for a birthday,
Weekend will be fine.
