Breakfast with a Hangover

The party's over
You got in bed with the devil
And pulled the covers up over your head
It's a bed of your own making
Now you have to lie in it 
And lie you have and lie you will 
Over and over and over again
You'll toss and turn until morning comes 
And after that sleepless night 
It will finally dawn on you
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee 
To go with your breakfast of crow
Which costs more than you will ever know
And we're all paying the price
