MONDAY (BONUS TRACK) Lyrics
Another week can begin,
Wanting, I’d ask myself,
Since its like I cannot be alone,
Wanting, I’m back where I belong,
And I’ve found a way, now I’m going home,
Monday, another sick reminder of another
Dead week gone by,
But if its monday,
If only for a moment,
And if that moments coming so am i,
But I dont know bout that
Smoke is in the air
I cant stand this
I got 19 f*cking hours and then I might get to the end
Get me home
But when engines purr in perfect harmony
The things at home
Are things I should not dream,
To take me down will take a better flight than here
You took my time so now I take you
(Spoken unknown)
Monday! Get me out of l.A.!
(I cant stand it!)…Jesus!
