lyrics

Tuesday making tiny sonnets
with collected words from all the open
streets of Monday, once the birds had returned
the birdsong never waned

look out, suddenly it's Wednesday
which will be over without delay
Thursday's living out its life span
it does its damage, it has its say

days for days he's fine for days
and every one either goes or stays
it's a question of the protocol
falling in love like in a hole

Friday's racing to the ocean
given over to the drama of the drive
won't say, won't say won't say "weekend"
won't say "Sunday," won't say why

what's with all that extra moonbeam
illuminating thoughts of thee sublime
sturdy study based in all the dreamy
secret aspects of the downhill slide

days for days he's fine for days
and every one either goes or stays
it's a question of the protocol
falling in love like in a hole
falling falling in an ocean
falling falling, like in a hole
