I sleep in late another day

Oh what a wonder oh what a waste

It's a Monday it's so mundane

What exciting things will happen today

The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and

I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab

We should amend that I pull the sheets back

It's forty degrees and I feel like I'm dying

Life's getting hard in here so I do some gardening

Anything to take my mind away from where it's supposed to be

The nice lady next door talks of green beds

And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them

I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps

Sunflowers bean sprouts sweet corn and radishes

I feel proactive I pull out weeds

All of a sudden

I'm having trouble breathing in

I'm having trouble breathing in

I'm having trouble breathing in

I'm having trouble breathing in

Ahh ahh

My hands are shaky my knees are weak

I can't seem to stand on my own two feet

I'm breathing but I'm wheezing feel like I'm emphysem-ing

My throat feels like a funnel filled with

Weet-Bix and kerosene and

Oh no next thing I know they call up triple-0

I'd rather die than owe the hospital 'til I get old

I get adrenaline straight to the heart

I feel like uma thurman post-overdosing kick start

Reminds me of the time when I was really sick and I

Had too much pseudoephedrine and I couldn't sleep at night

Halfway down high street andy looks ambivalent

He's probably wondering what I'm doing getting in an ambulance

The paramedic thinks I'm clever 'cause I play guitar

I think she's clever 'cause she stops people dying

Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic

Should've stayed in bed today I much prefer the mundane

I take a hit from an asthma puffer

I do it wrong I was never good at smoking bongs

I'm not that good at breathing in

I'm not that good at breathing in

I'm not that good at breathing in

Ahh ahh

Ahh ahh
