[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Bridge]

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

Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba [x3]


[Verse 3]

One of these days I’m gonna 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 [x3]

Ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba ba-ba ba [x4]
