From the recording Still a Little Summer Left
Lyrics
1. If I close my eyes this day would disappear and soon become yesterday
and Iʼll wonder why I find myself waking up in my clothes again and again
Tired of punching in; Tired of punching out; Tired of running in place
Standard issue day; Standard issue pay, Standard issue weight
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
... just to spend as I please
2. If I leave a door wide-open and just slipped out, how long until anyone knows?
up until the next commercial runs, I could be doing the same
Tired of tuning in, won’t you turn it down, maybe shut it off?
Standard issue shows, standard issue foes, standard issue “noʼs”
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
Those hours are days. Those days are prime. Donʼt want more pay. Iʼll take more time
... just to spend as I please
