The Real Black Gold
THE REAL BLACK GOLD

Get the water
Get the bean
Get ready
Get set
Go
Standing in the kitchen
One hand on the coffee pot handle
The other tapping the counter
A billion times a minute
Watching the juice
Slowly starting to drip
Down into the pot
Come on
Come on
Go
Go
Brew
BREW
That’s it
Jug filling up
Bit by bit
Then I hear it
That gurgling sound
Done!
The pot flies off the percolator
A little juice streams out in its wake
Landing sizzling on the burner
Cascading sound of my mug being filled

I stare into the steaming mug
For a moment
In awe
Oh man, here we go again

Now taking my eyes off the reflection
And
5
4
321blastoff
Drink it up
Chug it down
Don’t burn the tongue
Aww yeah
That’s the stuff, man
Chug
Chug
Chug
More
More
More
Bottoms up
All gone
Feel it coursing all through me
Feelin' the sweat coming on
Feelin' like I can do anything
Run around on the ceiling
Break shit
Destroy all the little fakes out there
Kill your TV
Kill the mall
Cure AIDS
End world hunger
Freeze Hell over
See what wonders
A little cup of coffee can do?
