Lyrics:

Oh, who booked the flights this early?
It was you Tim
I don't know - I point the finger at the shoestring
Cop a red eye all-nighter, that's not a new thing
It's all part of the fun to lose sleep touring
Amusing in retrospect, don't forget to check what state we're playing
Is there daylight savings?
The airports in Queensland and so's the accom
What, were we wrong?
Yep we're suppose to be on!
It's up north but not the straight out of Brissy gig
You know the one?
Yeah right I recall that night
That almost got us electrified - the water level flowing
Round the wires and the leads yet the show kept going
That reminds me of the toilets overflowing at the Cambridge
Not enough security, they understocked the bar fridge
Step away from carnage, we rocked it with Blades
Then I stepped to the manager to see how we got paid and he said

Zug zug zug zug zug zug (it's a charity event tonight that's Shelley behind the bar...)
Zug zug zug zug zug zug
(You know the bar staff's not getting paid and neither are you)
I'll tell you a story when your ears ring in morning
Some parts of my head are hurting, I've been woken up too early
And we'll sail off on the same routine into another night running on diminished steam
We gotta poker table you can lose your per diems
Zug zug zug zug zug zug
That's what it means

Do you remember the prosthetic leg?
Man how can I forget
She took it off and wanted us to sign it (stop lyin'!)
She was fresh from the UK on a drum n bass odyssey
She said she had another one signed by the Prodigy
Oh shit that takes me to Pyramid you got legless
Yeah I popped my knee mid-set
Oh yeah you couldn't get a chair
So I hobbled to the end
And got some medicine
You mean the warm beer that they sent
It was activist, acid trips, tee pees in Tassie
Oh you're talking bout the forest festival? Yep exactly!
We lost our minds but found them in time to play
At roughly 6 in the morning - and that was the Monday!
What about the sunny coast ghosts?
Oh the kids that we saw by the side of the road, motionless with the glow
Like the village of the damned up in Coolum
Maybe they think we are here to school 'em?
Zug zug zug zug zug zug (school you, my mate'll school you when I...)
Zug zug zug zug zug zug (...)
I'll tell you a story when your ears ring in morning
Some parts of my head are hurting, I've been woken up too early
And we'll sail off on the same routine into another night running on diminished steam
We gotta poker table you can lose your per diems
Zug zug zug zug zug zug
That's what it means

Zug zug zug zug zug zug
Zug zug zug zug zug zug

I don't even have the stomach for the same old
I don't even have the legs for the same old
I don't even have the head for the same old
For the same old
For the same old
I don't even have the breathe for the same old
For the same old
For the same old

I'll tell you a story when your ears ring in morning
Some parts of my head are hurting, I've been woken up too early
And we'll sail off on the same routine into another night running on diminished steam
We gotta poker table you can lose your per diems
Zug zug zug zug zug zug
