When I went to bed the other night something terrible occurred to me: What if I awoke and found myself in an alternate reality? Among the people waiting for the train Standing there dejected in the rain Dreaming up an island far away - beginningless vacation In another life and time it seemed that everything was beautiful Now I'm in a jacket and a tie and I'm sitting in a cubicle But I'm working up a master plan Oh, my wife and kids won't hold me back Something's gotta give before I crack - beginningless vacation Oh, when I finally get through this pile of debt I will be free to make my way I'll move to London or learn to fly a jet Then I can finally fly away One of these days I'm going to leave and I'll never go to work again It'll be the last they see of me - I'll be following my heart instead But it's always much more fun to dream Than to run off doing crazy things If it means I'm risking poverty - beginningless vacation At least I have the weekends all to me Holidays and summer hours free I can always dream about my sweet beginningless vacation Beginningless vacation [x2]
