Rollover

25/02/19

Hey… what were your plans for today?
(and I know you know what I’m about to say)
but I don’t think we’re quite done with our play
which began sometime around… yesterday
If you’re not feeling finished, well that’s no surprise
we’re only getting started if we see the sunrise!

YES you have things to do, and your logic is sound
but this voracious appetite knows no bounds
and while ya can repeat an exam, or leave your work without
you can never relive a good night out
So don’t fret about your future
don’t fill your present with sorrow
we procrastinators are the leaders… of tomorrow!
but today you are mine and I won’t be unkind
so this day and a night and day I will borrow

You owe nothin’ to no-one but your truest self 
and I’ll be damned if you’re left up there on that shelf
we vowed not to suffer life’s strife and toil
so let’s now fuck up these mortal coils!
and in exchange for an indeterminate toll?
well, only the best sex drugs and rock’n’roll
be audacious and take your soul for ride 
(perhaps with some lysergic acid diethylamide)
and can I just say it would be simply uncouth 
to not compliment that orange with a glass of vermouth
or a bottle or five (I don’t really mind)
let’s get it all in while we’re still alive!
and can get some real milage out of our youth

So, you roll that up I’ll run down to the chino
ya gotta make your own luck, that’s one thing we know
reality is boring, so fuck it – let’s have fun
and frolic with satyrs and nymphs in the sun
don’t blink, it’ll fly, that’s true enough 
just think of all that’s gone by since you last woke up
it’s ok to want more, there’s nothing amiss
HOW could we possibly be expected to work on a day like this?
So if you’re ready to laugh at the void and dance by the abyss
then take my hand, and just say yes…
