lyrics

ON MONDAY

On Monday
the bougies give the city back
the bartenders all take the day off and relax
and Oh, how they laugh

At the daywalkers
fielding new job offers
living out the awfulness
of the creative class

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
but the city is a covenant
this much, at least, the gangsters understood
when they were runnin’ it
now we try not to regret our days
close our eyes, and drink our drinks and wait

On Monday
gonna ride all over town
the wind in my hair turning my black eyes brown
I’ve still got what it takes

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
They’re tearing the old church down
When I was young I wanted to watch it burn
but you see it’s different now
Now I’m trying not to be some kind of way
But in the midst of all this sameness, you know
I just don’t feel the same

On Monday
gonna ride off to another town
in hope of wonder, in hope of joy
to be found
Tell them I’m on my way.

Tell them I’m on my way.
