[Verse]
Eyes half-closed the dawn breaks slow
World's a haze till that first flow
Mug in hand don't test my ground
Words ain't formed till the brew comes round
[Chorus]
Don't talk to me till the steam's in the air
Till that black gold burns away despair
My patience's thin like a thread on fire
Coffee first then I'll conspire
[Verse 2]
Sunlight's cruel it blinds my soul
Without that cup I ain't whole
Dark roast dreams in the morning fog
Words untamed like a barking dog
[Chorus]
Don't talk to me till the steam's in the air
Till that black gold burns away despair
My patience's thin like a thread on fire
Coffee first then I'll conspire
[Bridge]
Grind it up pour it deep
Waking giants from their sleep
Liquid courage in my veins
Shaking off these morning chains
[Chorus]
Don't talk to me till the steam's in the air
Till that black gold burns away despair
My patience's thin like a thread on fire
Coffee first then I'll conspire
