Kurt Nilsen - Day Off lyrics

I see the morning sun from my window Not a cloud for a mile or two Wearing out my slippers when I walk But that's what I'm supposed to do What is the purpose What am I doing here When I ought to be at work I'm going round and round in circles all day Can't stop thinking about where it hurts Look ahead Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life? Well that's not right Look ahead Does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try Yeah just a try I'm taking a sick leave Forgot to make the call Just let them know that this is too hard I can't figure out what I'm gonna say Cause telling them a lie when I'm in bed anyway A little scared as I dial the phone Saying that the fever has got into my bone I'm sweating like a pig when you return my call Now get well soon, take the day off Look ahead Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life? Well that's not right Look ahead Does it mean I'm afraid to give it a try Yeah just a try (day off, day off...) Keeping a straight face, trying to seem real Enjoying myself, well here's the deal I'm never ever going back there again No no, m-mm, no way at all I'm never ever going back there again I gotta be honest with myself Yeah, I gotta be honest with myself Look ahead Is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life? Well that's not right Look ahead Does it mean I'm afraid to give it a try Yeah just a try
