I must have left my house at eight because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
I must have read the morning paper going into town
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
Usual place, usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
The day before the train arrived


Before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything
I hit a part of me away
At five I must have left
There's no exception to the rule
A matter of routine
I've done it ever since I finished school
I've done it ever since I finished school
I've done it ever since I finished school
Rain back home again, undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
The day before you came
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of West Wing that I didn't see
I must have gone to bed
For a long time
Around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep
And so I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
The latest Thomas Harris
Or something in that style
It's funny
But I had no sense of living
Without a dream
The day before you came
The day before you came
The day before you came
Why were they going to celebrate the first time
That you watched the show?


Is it you over there?

Is it you over there?
