Verse one

Totally wired and the game is up

 I?m under the table

 You carry my heart in the palm of your hand

 As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out

Open up to find a man made home

 And by four o?clock when the sun came out

We were beside ourselves

Chorus 1

 Taking the rest of the day off

 Lying out the back

Slung in a hammock

Gathering reams of space and time

Verse 2

Two eyes that surrender

 The call might come

Fire my anger and spoil the whole thing

 It?s not much fun when the pressures on

 And your luck has gone

But you squeeze my hand

Chorus 2

 We?re taking the rest of the day off

 We like to climb the rock

Before we have lunch

 And we?ll turn our backs on the whole damn bunch

Middle 8

repeat this phrase * 3)

Ah ah ah ah

Verse 3

You?ll find the answer walking the dog

 Down the south of Piha, it?s over and done

 Not a lot to say when the man calls up

 The line goes dead and you?re yesterdays news

 I couldn?t care less now I?m here with you

 We?re the only ones left and we?re flat on our backs

Chorus 3

Taking the rest of the day off

 And you find it don?t add up to much

 When you?re wrapped in a blanket of stars

 With the one you love yeah yeah

 Like two shiny dogs yeah yeah

 With the one you love yeah yeah
