Running down my batt-er-ies Laying me out to rest Knowing when that in Five hours I’ll wake up and de-stress And I’m digging myself into a hole And these days I just work When once I had so much soul
[Chorus:] And lately I’ve forgotten who I am Need to let my energy just drain away And now – my mind – is working overtime It’s been a looong day Such a long day, ay, ay
Mmm and while all my contemporaries (All my friends, yeah) Are sitting in college now My education is dragging, dragging My guitar through London town And the thing that wakes me when I could sleep instead Is the thought that tonight I can fall back into bed
[Chorus:] And lately, I’ve forgotten who I am Need to let my energy just drain away And now my mind is working overtime It’s been a looooooong day It’s been a long day (a long day)
Recently my head It ain’t recharged as such And sleep can only cure, yeah A restless mind so much
[Chorus:] Lately I’ve forgotten who I am Need to let my energy just drain away And now my mind is working overtime It’s been a long day It’s been a long long long day It’s been a long long long day It’s been a long day So long, so long, so loooooooong
