The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Hippos, "Asleep at the Wheel" from Forget the World (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I probably won't be afforded the opportunity to slumber for at least another twelve hours.

"It's two in the morning, I'm tired as hell,
What am I doin' behind the wheel?
The lights have all blurred into a row,
How long I'll be up I just don't know.

"I'm fallin' asleep, asleep at the wheel,
This feels like a dream but this real.

"I've got a lot on my mind, I've been drivin' all night.
You can bet I'll be drivin' when out comes the light.
I've been on the road so long that I'm gonna crack,
I've been on the road longer than Jack Kerouac.

"I'm fallin' asleep, asleep at the wheel,
This feels like a dream but this real.
Well, I've had too much coffee to drink,
Caffeine's gone to my brain, I can't think,
I don't think I'll make it this time…"
