Story Behind the Song
Coffee. Lots of coffee. No sleep.
Lyrics
feeling mellow, this is harmony
to be really mellow, where I want to be
then you tease me with a dose of liquid speed
that's not something that I need, to be "keyed"
I canÕt spend another dime on the heart attack line, oh no
I canÕt spend another dime on the heart attack line, oh no
IÕve been trying to relax and meditate
while not denying the anger tucked away
then you say, ÒLetÕs go down to the cafe, hey!
Gimme a latte! Right away!Ó
I canÕt spend another dime on the heart attack line, oh no
all-night pictures in my mind
I havenÕt seen them since the last time we drank coffee at night
really mellow, just a memory of feeling really mellow
caffeine got to me
now I rage, and burn us all in my wake!
hey! donÕtcha like to go that way, like a flame?
burninÕ at the stake, itÕs insane!
I canÕt spend another dime on the heart attack line, oh no
I canÕt spare another life on the heart attack line, oh no
all-night pictures in my mind
havenÕt seen them since the last time
theyÕve been missing since the last time
I havenÕt seen you since the last time we drank coffee at night
