Jay Madera: Forty Winks Lyrics

"Forty Winks"

You watched me load

My Fender Rhodes

Into the hatch

of my four-door

Ran out of gas

on the outer-belt

I made the show

but forgotthe chords

It broke my back,

and it broke my will

It broke my balls

And that’s the thrill

I don’t know what I’m going to do

When all I’ve been looking forward to

and nothing too

That’s the price of you

If you’d just hear me

I know you’d want me

You’d come backstage

You’d love me so nonchalantly

I was aching for you

Like a habit you were there

Stretching, waking, forty

winks fall from your hair

You were a dream

Now we’re a path

The fork prematurely

Stabbing in the back

I don’t know what I’m going to do

When all I’ve been looking forward to

Is done and gone

The morning after song

I don’t know what I’m going to do

Having everything I thought I wanted

and nothing too

That’s the price of you

I don’t know why it’s such a fight

To wake the morning after

sleeping through the night

I don’t know why it’s such a fight

To wake the morning after

finally sleeping through the night
