Nine O'Clock Dash

Verse 1

The kettle's screaming like a banshee

My shirt's inside out again

Socks don't match my boots won't lace

And the clock just laughs at me

I swore last night I'd rise at dawn

Swore it loud and swore it twice

Pre-Chorus

Sprint the stairs

Skip the stair

Slam the door

Say a prayer

Chorus

I'm late I'm late I'm running wild

The boss is gonna have my hide

I'm late I'm late I'm flying now

With both my laces untied

Post-Chorus

Go go go

Go go go

Verse 2

The bus pulls off just as I reach

The driver waves goodbye

A puddle greets my polished shoe

A pigeon mocks me high

I could blame the moon the rain the fates

Blame anyone but me

Pre-Chorus

Dodge the pram

Dodge the dog

Leap the fence

Through the fog

Chorus

I'm late I'm late I'm running wild

The boss is gonna have my hide

I'm late I'm late I'm flying now

With both my laces untied

Post-Chorus

Go go go

Go go go

Bridge

Maybe I should just turn back

Crawl beneath the quilt

Maybe I should call it quits

Admit the day is spilt

But my feet they keep on pounding

Pounding down the hill

Chorus

I'm late I'm late I'm running wild

The boss is gonna have my hide

I'm late I'm late I'm flying now

With both my laces untied

Post-Chorus

Go go go

Go go go

Go go go

Go go go
