The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
That’s me at the wheel
|
Yo, the longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
When it all went wrong
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
That’s me at the wheel
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
When it all went wrong
|
That’s me in the spotlight
|
That’s me on the dance floor
|
They’re playing our song
|
Remember the time?
|
I said, 'Sell me a dream.'
|
You said, 'Tell me a lie
|
But only if it’s white.'
|
With a smile so right
|
I was born in the Concorde
|
High as a kite
|
Send a letter to prison
|
Told my boy that I’d write
|
But I ain’t feeling accustom
|
Like a toy when he write
|
And when it all went wrong
|
I couldn’t do nothing right
|
Couldn’t do nothing right
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
That’s me at the wheel
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
When it all went wrong
|
That’s me in the spotlight
|
That’s me on the dance floor
|
They’re playing our song
|
Remember the day?
|
I said, 'Bring me sunshine'
|
You said, 'Take me to shade.'
|
Send that serenade with a barbed wire bouquet
|
And a box of Milk Tray
|
I was born in a spaceship
|
I was flying away, wasn’t trying to stay
|
With my heart in a glass box there on display
|
Got me dreaming allay
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
That’s me in the driver’s seat
|
That’s me at the wheel
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the coffee get
|
The weaker my will
|
Speaking on my kin
|
I was just keeping it real
|
When it all went wrong
|
That’s me in the spotlight
|
That’s me on the dance floor
|
They’re playing our song
|
Do you remember the moment?
|
You gave me a sales pitch
|
I wrote you a poem
|
Saw a shadow of handsome
|
Hoping you’d get to know him
|
Or like Marilyn Manson
|
With his innocence stolen
|
I was born in a boat
|
But don’t know where it’s going
|
Wore my heart on my sleeve
|
To make sure it was showing
|
Sunshine and rain shower
|
To ensure that I’m growing
|
I was high as a UFO
|
With my whole body glowing
|
The longer the days get
|
The stronger the drinks get
|
The louder the weed
|
My eyes closed; |
I ain’t got the power to see
|
The width of the trees
|
Or how they make powder from leaves
|
And every time the sunrise, yo, the coffee get stronger
|
I’ll be counting the beans
|
And every time the sunrise, yo the coffee gets stronger… |
