uhhhh! time for me to get up. what time is it
anyway? i can't see the clock from where i lay
here. and the one across the room i can't focus
my eyes on. where's my glasses? i better stand
up and stretch. this is the day that i meet
you, for the first time i finally get a chance
to meet you. and i must get ready, for it is
late, later than i think. where's my watch?
god, i can't find anything! what did i do last
night? everything is lost in the
shuffle.
it's a rainy saturday morning
but that does
not please me.
i feel solemn and
dismal.
first i must put on a pair of
pants
but i cannot decide which to
wear
i'll try on the black pants
if i
could only find them
there they are!
how
did they get over there?
i must have left
them there without thinking
i'll shake them
out and slip them on
but no, the black pants
are wrinkled
and there are little white
spots on one leg
can't wear them!
i'll
have to remember to fix them up later
i
guess i'll just find my jeans
and not worry
about dressing up
can i find the
bathroom?
it's so dark!
where's the
sunshine i was promised?
didn't i pray for a
beautiful day last night?
a lot of good that
did
there's my watch on the bathroom
shelf
how did it get there?
i'm thinking
of you
as i finish on the toilet
and then
i wet my face
i still don't know which pants
i'm gonna wear
shirts are no problem
for
some reason i take care of all my shirts
but
i let my pants fall to the floor
and they
get totally out of control
there, that feels
better with my face washed
that's me in the
mirror, huh?
is that how i look?
i gotta
get going
it's already 9:30 and i've got
some driving to do
here in my closet are
many memories of
the days when we planned
this meeting for today
hope you're ready for
me
because i've suddenly grown out of
sorts
and sometimes i can't help
myself
my new life has made me fall
behind
in self-responsabilities
and it
takes me hours to prepare for
anything
there's my glasses, on the
desk
they must be cleaned
i put on a tony
bennett album
and that helps to calm me
down
it's hard enough waking up
with this
special event coming up
it's cold in
here!
better get dressed
these jeans are
filthy!
but they're all i can find
i'll
wear that new white shirt
that's hanging in
the closet, yeah
choosing a tie is
easy
suddenly i'm ready. guess i'll
leave
is everything turned off?
maybe
i'll leave one light on
i might not be back
until late
got my money, cigarettes,
lighter
i better take my driver's
license
where is it??
goodness gracious
i'm so untogether this
morning
i've got so much to think
about
what if the car doesn't start?
do i
have your number
in case something were to
happen?
let's see, there it is
i'm
surprised i didn't lose that too
i'm getting
a little hungry
but there isn't time for
that
i better go before i lose something
else
at least it stopped raining
now how
do i get to your building?
i'll just have to
stop at a service station
and ask for
directions, i guess
as i look up and walk
away
i realize that my meeting you is
the
best thing that's ever happened to me
i've
been waiting for this for a long time
and
how hard to believe that today is the day
my
car is soaking wet inside
why did i leave
the windows down?
now my jeans are getting
damp
and the car won't start
come
on!
maybe i'll let it sit for a
minute
and i'll pump the gas
i've got my
fingers crossed
now it's starting to rain
again
oh no!
i've got a feeling
something's against me
it still won't
start
better roll up the windows & start
walking
i'll br drenched by the time i get
there
is this what it takes
just to meet
you and be happy for once?
why is this
happening to me?
oh god, it's starting to
pour
i gotta turn back
i can't take it
any longer
i'll just have to stay
here
until someone rescues me
which might
never happen
this is ridiculous!
i'm
tired of living this way
might as well take
some dope, lots of it
where did i put the
pills?
there it is, and there's your
picture
will i ever see you again?
i
better call you
and tell you what's going
on
no answer, forget it!
i'm just gonna
end it all
all these pills will take care of
me
i'll just wait a little while
and
then, no more problems
i just hope you call
me before it's too late
