I must have been dreaming that I misplaced my coffee cup
The one with the lid that I had flipped when I got up
Both of them were well hidden in the place I looked you see
There in the dish washer, looking right back up at me.
I was beginning to think that I had lost my mind,
because when it leaves I'll be going with it this time.
Just remember when you send me to that place,
give me a mirror so I can look this stranger in the face.
I'll be talking to me in the sanatorium,
trying to remember while talking up a storm.
Does myself remember just who in the world I are?
If I did now, would me have made it this far?
I'm going back to bed, for that is where I lost it.
Somewhere in the night, the sand man played a trick
It could have been when I went to the restroom in the dark.
My body's in locomotion but I left my mind geared in park.
If it weren't for my honey, I wouldn't be drinking coffee now.
She found what I was looking for while I wondered how?
I hope that she remembers when she sends me to that place,
to give me a mirror so I can look this stranger in the face.
I'll be talking to me in the sanatorium,
trying to remember while talking up a storm.
Does myself remember just who in the world I are?
If I did now, would me have made it this far?
