Five O'Clock Shadow

Alarm bell rings, the kettle sings
And you don't know what's happening
The night before is just another blur
The water's cold, the bread is mold
How many times have you been told
Or, does it simply never occur?

Can't get no job 'cause you look like a slob
They take one look at you:
Get out of my life!
Oh, get out of my hair!
You're a no-hoper, a no-coper, a real moper
There's no hope for you
I get a feeling that you need someone to pull you through...

Take a leap in the dark
Under the moonlight
A walk in the park, following you
Take a jump in the lake, it'll be alright
You live in a five o'clock shadow
Because you live in a five o'clock shadow

And then they find some work for you
Collecting dung at city zoo
Good to see that cash in your palm
Contemplate suicide
But you already died inside
Need another shot in the arm

You find a girl, she's a regular pearl
She takes two looks at you:
Get out of my life!
I get a feeling that you need someone to pull you through

Take a leap in the dark
Under the moonlight
Walk in the park, following you
Take a jump in the lake, it'll be alright
You live in a five o'clock shadow
Because you live in a five o'clock shadow
Because you live in a five o'clock shadow...

Come the end another day
You follow a five o'clock shadow
Look into the mirror see your face,
A five o'clock shadow
Five o'clock shadow, five o'clock shadow
Five o'clock shadow, five o'clock shadow

La la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la la
