Written exactly 2 years ago, Feb. 3/2008, as part of FAWM (February Album-Writing Month, a spin-off of NaNoWriMo - National Novel-Writing Month). Feb. 1 and 2 left me wondering what it would be like being a groundhog on Groundhog Day. Sat down and wrote this song the next morning.
A couple weeks a go I happened to have access to portable recording device of decent quality, and the desire to record all of my original songs with it - just quickly - before returning it. This was one of the songs - and probably the one that took the most takes and sounds the worst of all of them! But... it's topical. I'll post more in the next little while. :)
Groundhog Day
Here we go again
It's gonna be another one of those days
Wake up and yawn
Stretch my legs and take a look outside.
Hey, what the hell is this?
What are all you people lookin' at?
Hey what the hell'd I miss?
Once a year
I wake up to the sound
Of people screamin' out my name
Is this some kind of game?
Here we go again
It's gonna be another one of those years
Every day's the same
I start to think that there's no place for me.
Then what the hell is this?
What are all you people lookin' at?
Well, what the hell'd I miss?
For one day of the year you know my name,
You know my name...
What the hell is this?
What are all you people lookin' at?
What the hell'd I miss?
For one day of the year you know my name.
Just let me drink this in,
'Cause tomorrow I'll be back to the same old grind
Just when I think I can't win,
Snow or shine
I poke my head outside
For my yearly dose of fame
But I'll take it just the same, because
Tomorrow I'll be all alone again...
Here we go again
It's gonna be another one of those days
Wake up and yawn
Stretch my legs and take a look outside.
Here we go again
It's gonna be another one of those years
Every day's the same
I start to think that there's no place for me.
What the hell is this?
What are all you people lookin' at?
What the hell'd I miss?
For one day of the year you know my name.
Once a year
I wake up to the sound
Of people screamin' out my name
'Cause everything's the same
Is this some kind of game?
'Cause everything's the same
Is this some kind of dream?
