I may have posted this one before, but there's lots of new people here now. This is based on the little dreams that happen between all the snooze button hits on your alarm clock. Just as you get into something the damn buzzer goes off, you hit it again, and start dreaming again.

Hit the Snooze

I'm walking through a city
That I never saw before
Like I know where I'm going
But I'm not really sure

There's a girl in a window
She motions me with her hand
We meet facing at the doorway
I reach out to kiss her..and

Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I've got nothing to lose
Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I can be late if I choose

I lie back down on my pillow
Close my eyes and look for her
No more sign of the city
And her face is just a blur

I'm jumping from an airplane
No parachute at all
I'm not scared, cause in a dream
You don't hit the ground when you fall

Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I've got nothing to lose
Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I can be late if I choose

Every morning I live
Through two, nine minute scenes
Each one plays differently
On my dreamland silver screen

Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I've got nothing to lose
Beep beep beep hit the snooze
I can be late if I choose

Thanks Dan, Bob, and Louis (I keep typing Lois). Glad I'm retired now and don't have to deal with alarm clocks anymore.

Thanks Calvin. You have to have a sense of humor to stay sane.

Quite an amusing song, lyrically, but delivered in a way that suggests it's a deadly serious subject. Which is a nice contrast/tension.

Trying to think who the vocal style reminds me of.

Very nice Rick
I can hear the chorus during the opening montage of a movie or TV sitcom.
How's good Old St Augustine?

Thanks Glynda and comradec. I appreciate your listen and comments.

Mike, St. Augustine is still old. Thanks for your listen.

Polly, the break was a last minute addition. Just sort of popped up as I was recording.
