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
Pah, pah pah pah, pah pah pah...
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]
