lyrics

Johnny hears a buzzing, he jumps out of bed,
He’s got a hole in his pocket, a dream in his head;
Alarm clock's screaming, time for him to go,
But Johnny’s still dreaming, his feet are slow.
A shout from the kitchen, his food’s on the plate,
He’d better pick up his heels, he’s going to be late;
He’s got his arms in his trousers, his hand in a shoe,
He’s upside-down, doesn’t know what to do -
He’s in a daze - crazy days.

Johnny’s at the bus-stop standing in the queue,
His toes are frozen, his fingers are blue;
Conductor's screaming, time for him to pay,
But Johnny’s still dreaming, he’s miles away.
A whistle from the factory, they’re closing the gate,
He’d better pick up his heels, he’s going to be late;
He’s got his eyes on the clock-in, his hand on the card,
He might just make it but it’s going to be hard -

Johnny’s in the bar-room swilling down the beer,
He’s got smoke in his eyes, music in his ear;
Landlord's screaming, time to close the bar,
But Johnny’s still dreaming, his thoughts are afar.
A ring from the counter, the bill’s on the slate,
He’d better pick up his heels, he’s going to be late;
He’s got his bum on a barstool, his eyes on a girl,
His hands are steady but he’s starting to swirl -
He’s in a daze - crazy days.

Johnny’s in the bathroom staring at himself,
He’s got hope in his eyes, soap on the shelf;
Conscience screaming, time to understand,
But Johnny’s still dreaming in a faraway land.
A yell from the hallway, someone can’t wait,
He’d better pick up his heels, he’s going to be late;
He’s got soap in his eyes, his hope on the shelf,
Reflection’s fading, he’s losing himself -
He’s in a daze - crazy days.
