Rest of the Day off Lyrics

Totally wired and the game is up,
I'm under the table,
You carry my heart in the palm of your hand,
As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out,
Open up to find a man made home,
And by four o?clock when the sun came out,
We were beside ourselves,
Taking the rest of the day off,
Lying out the back,
Slung in a hammock,

Gathering reams of space and time,
Two eyes that surrender,
The call might come,
Fire my anger and spoil the whole thing,
It's not much fun when the pressures on,
And your luck has gone,
But you squeeze my hand,
We're taking the rest of the day off,
We like to climb the rock,
Before we have lunch,
And we'll turn our backs on the whole damn bunch

You find the answer walking the dog,
Down the south of Piha, it's over and done,
Not a lot to say when the man calls up,
The line goes dead and you're yesterday's news,
I couldn't care less now I'm here with you,
We're the only ones left and we're flat on our backs,
Taking the rest of the day off,
And you find it don't add up to much,
When you're wrapped in a blanket of stars,
With the one you love,
Like two shiny dogs,
With the one you love
