Calypso

[Verse 1]
Time is not a one-way street
And opportunity's not a window
Travelling, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I put them on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
No philosophizing going on here, no
And I'm hanging low just like the ocean
And it's been so long I've been forgotten
No philosophizing going on here, hey!

[Chorus]
It's time to get away, hey!
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, hey!
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry...

[Verse 2]
Empty mouth and empty breath
Did you know what you were reading? No
Turn the page and I see you on
The other side of the street you're walking down
I never thought that you were bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
And I put them o-on the shelf and I pour myself a beer
No philosophizing going on here, no
And I'm hanging low just like the ocean
And it's been so long I've been forgotten
No philosophizing going on here, hey!

[Chorus]
It's time to get away, hey!
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, hey!
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry anymore

[Bridge]
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 (light the moon)
And you know that sultry tune is in the a-air
And your sex is everywhere (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, no
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, hey!

[Chorus]
It's time to get away, hey!
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, hey!
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, hey!
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, hey!
Time for a holiday
Put your books up on the shelf and
Don't worry, don't worry...
