I'd rather have a bottle in front of me

I'd rather watch 10 hours of T.V.

But since I can't I'll think of food

I'll think of sex

I'll think of music

And I'll think of you


I'd rather have a cold one by the sea

I'd rather have you sitting on top o'me

But since I'm here and you're so far away

I'll read about Zaphod Beeblebrox

As I pass the day, hey


I'd rather not spend my whole night driving

I'd rather not be on so much caffeine

But since you're in bed and I'm sleeping

on some floor

I'll think of you and I'll wish that I was home
