After Lunch Snooze

Lyrics

[INTRO – sleepy elevator music vibe, half-whispered] Mmm… Yeah… 2:13 PM… Somebody turned the lights down in this office… Yawwwn… Mr. Sandman clocked in early today… [SFX: keyboard clicks, coffee sip, quiet office chatter] [VERSE 1] Ate that chicken parm with the extra fries Now my eyelids weigh about ninety-five Tryna lock in on this spreadsheet line But the numbers look like hieroglyph signs Head bobbin’ like a dashboard dog Fightin’ for my life in this conference call Manager walk by — sit up real fast Then I fade right back like Windows crashed [PRE-CHORUS] Coffee ain’t workin’ Cold air ain’t helpin’ Somebody save me from myself and … [CHORUS] Ooooh, here come the sleep idis Mr. Sandman got a full hold on me Tryna answer emails professionally But it look like: “Hey brfndk… let’s circle… zzz…” I’m driftin’ in and out that meeting coma Noddin’ off slow like I’m ridin’ a roller coaster Five more hours? Ain’t no way, buddy I’m awake on the outside… But internally fuzzy [VERSE 2] Clicked “reply all” by accident twice Now Janet from accounting givin’ me side-eye Boss say “great work” — I just blink and grin Truth is I ain’t heard one word since ten Tried splashin’ water on my face downstairs Came back smellin’ like breakroom chairs Coworker ask if I’m good today I said “yeahhhhh…” Then forgot my name [PRE-CHORUS] This lunch betrayed me Mac and cheese too crazy Somebody unplug my gravy… [CHORUS] Ooooh, here come the sleep idis Mr. Sandman moonwalkin’ over to me Laptop open but spiritually gone Cursor blinkin’ like: “Bro… just go home…” I’m driftin’ in and out that meeting coma Camera off, muted microphone soldier Tryna look alive when the boss walks by But my soul left work around 2:05 [BRIDGE – beat drops softer, dreamy] Slow motion… Office lights glowin’… Somebody talking graphs and quotas… I think I just dreamed with my eyes open… [SFX: distant “Can everybody see my screen?”] [FINAL CHORUS – bigger, more fun] Ooooh, here come the sleep idis Everybody in the office fighting silently Energy drink and a caramel coffee Still can’t stop this lunchtime robbery Head bobbin’ left-right like a chicken dance Tryna stay awake just to keep this job intact If I survive till 5 o’clock tonight I swear tomorrow… I’m eatin’ light
