Playin' In

Woke up to skies all graying
Sad song on the radio playing
 Want to roll over and hit snooze
See you tomorrow....


Let's just stay home and cut school
A day to forget about old rules
We'll make our own as we go along...
But we won't have none...
No we won't have none


And it would be lovely
Groovin' like a Sunday
Put aside your cares
For just today
Ok?


Time for a selfish holiday


We'll build a pillow mansion
A top secret space to crash in
Don't have to tell nobody where
Why would we wanna?...


A do not disturb staycation
Members of the Hiber Nation
Hold all our calls until the Spring
Cuz we've gone dreamin'
Yeah, we've gone dreamin'


And it would be lovely
Groovin' like a Sunday
Put aside your cares
For just today
Ok?


We're gonna stay inside
And play


And let the world alone today...


Peace - Rene 2009

  4. Hi. Last Friday, I told my children to skip shool because I was too tired to drive them 40 kilometres south. I can only do that once in a while - tell them to skip class.

  5. I would LOVE a pillow mansion. Presumably sleepy music would be playing?
