The Common Loon - Three in the Morning Lyrics

I've been getting the feeling
Someone's sending me messages in my dreams
Now I stare at the ceiling
Self analyzing to figure out what it means

So many times I'm a soldier
Either that or I'm running for my life
Awake and startled roll over
And leave the room so I don't wake my wife

At least I'm not a soldier
Or a dyin' civilian out on the streets
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had yeah

Once again in the kitchen
Why do you always have to wake me at three
In the morning I wonder
Which dreams are fears and which are meant for me

At least I'm not in a hole
Or floatin' with plankton out on the sea
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had yeah

At least I'm not in a prison
Or being sold into childhood slavery
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had yeah

Now awake and I'm yawning
Now these visions have just about slipped my mind
Though the feeling was haunting
My brain keeps playing these nightmares all of the time

At least I'm not gettin' shot in the subway
At least I'm not being yelled at by my dad
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold Mom it's so cold
The dream I had
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold to leave my shell
Mom it's so cold
