The Urgency

Hurry, you must catch up, too much to do
Don't stop now, everyone will blame you
Don't forget the most important piece of all
I can't afford to be the one to drop the ball

Remember the pressure, a constant urgency
Why is everything turning into an emergency?
No time to point fingers and fight with anyone
Just need the time to push until the job is done

One more boss to please, then all will be well
Finally, I'll be able to break the pressure spell
I can see it now, eight hours of sleep up ahead
Hitting my pillow and sinking in my comfy bed

Another hour and then I'll be done for the night
Ok, now, seven hours of sleep sounds just right
Don't tell me I have an email at such a late hour
Crap, the customer is yelling, things turning sour

This must become a true piece of art to save us
Otherwise, the customer will make another fuss
Ok, lets just say I can do this in three hours or so
Four hours of sleep is enough to pull off this show

Finally done, the customer better be very pleased
Shoot, one hour to sleep, is it worth being teased
Looks as though coffee will be a best friend today
Sixteen more hours to go and I can sleep away
