Madeleine Peyroux - On A Sunday Afternoon

Nobody's causing any trouble nobody's trying to pick a fight
We're all just soaking up this
Sunday summer sun feeling glad to be alive

Ain't gonna worry bout tomorrow and even less about today
We're gonna watch the light go down on
The horizon let every moment slip away

Jesse tore up his apartment just why he wouldn't say
Now he sits there in his bedroom and he won't come out to play

Oh, yeah it's a Sunday afternoon
Got cap'n crunch and reefer and old cartoons
When I get up tomorrow it'll be too soon
We're lazing on a Sunday afternoon

The daily news keeps getting stranger
But medical Mary keeps me cool
They all used to say I'd be a failure
But I'm breezing although I know sometimes
I get a bit confused

Everybody needs a purpose some kind of driving force in life
I ain't gonna have the admiration of
The world but I'm already famous in my mind

Martha hitched from San Francisco back to her parents' by the bay
She's doing mandalas and boxing at least that's what the doctors say

Oh yeah it's a Sunday afternoon
Got cap'n crunch and reefer and old cartoons
If the aliens are coming hope they come soon
We're lazing on a Sunday afternoon
