Early Mornin’ Pain
(download here)
(after Gordon Lightfoot, Early Mornin' Rain)

It’s an early mornin’ pain
With a keyboard in my hands,
And an achin’ in my heart,
And my modem starts to dance.

I’m a long way from done
And I want that music so
It’s an early mornin’ pain
When those posts start to scroll.

On the newsgroup there is fine
Fine music can’t get it all
But I tag ‘em, and I try
Till I’m climbin’ the walls

I’m addicted, that’s for sure
It’s not like you don’t know.
It’s an early mornin’ pain
When those posts start to scroll.

It’s an effort, that’s for sure
Burnin’ CDs by the score
Do too much spending there online
And a lot at music stores

Buyin’ all those blank CDs
Need a whole new bank roll
It’s an early mornin’ pain
When those posts start to scroll.

This old newsgroup’s got me down
It’s gonna be the death of me
I need to turn my life around
And I really need some sleep

I know it sounds insane
But I just can’t refrain
I download my life away
It’s an early mornin’ pain
I download my life away
It’s an early mornin’ pain
