Lyrics
Calypso
Time is not a one-way street
Opportunity?s not a window
Traveling, it don?t take your feet
I?m sick and tired, let the wind blow
Don?t know what is all the rage
I?m tired of Nietzche and Plato
We?re just not on the same page
I don?t really care what they know, just what I find about myself
and I put them on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
no philosophizing going on here
and I?m hanging low just like the ocean
it?s been so long I?ve been forgotten
there?s no philosophizing going on here
HEY!
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
Empty mind and empty breath
Did you know what you were reading?
Turn the page and I see you on the other side of the street you?re walking down
Never thought that you were bleeding
and I put them on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
no philosophizing going on here
and I?m hanging low just like the ocean
it?s been so long I?ve been forgotten
there?s no philosophizing going on here
HEY!
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
Empty lines, and the moon?s still on the street
And the smell that?s falling from your hair and it?s gathering below my feet
Light the moon, Light the moon, Light the moon, Light the moon
And you know that sultry tune is in the air
And your sex is everywhere
And the parents-gone
The kids are whacked and the shit is on the street
We never knew what we were doing
And we?re out of gas, the house broke down and
Shit! It?s on the wrong side of the town
We never knew what we were doing!
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
It?s time to get away
time for a holiday
put your books up on the shelf and don?t worry, don?t worry anymore
