I was out to get myself game-fully employed
And take a break from all those vices I've enjoyed
On the way I fell over
I was hoping someone somewhere somehow might define
This feeling that's congealing in the grease trap of my mind
On the way I fell over
And if you wanna know
Why my coat is soaking wet
I've been out in the early morning rain again
Waiting in line for the weekend
Now I had no time to wallow, I had no time to sleep
I had no cause to pause because I had a date to keep
On the way I fell over
It's a 15 hour drive overnight
And when temptation took my hand my destination was in sight
On the way I fell over (mmm)
And if you wanna know
Why my coat is soaking wet
I've been out in the early morning rain again
Waiting in line for the weekend
Now truly it's a tragedy, a cowards kind of crime
All these different ways that I can find to waste my time
All the while growing older
And times a funny thing, don't you find it strange
How minutes feel like hours, but years go by like days
And all the while I'm growing older (mmm)
And if you wanna know
Why my coat is soaking wet
I've been out in the early morning rain again
Waiting in line for the weekend
And I know it's only fair, babe
Seeing as I said I'd meet you there, babe
I think I've got a bottle in the kitchen we can share
