Eyes fixed on the living room wall
An opaque textured pattern - carved with valleys - with features large and small
And as the light-of-day begins to fall
The flickers tell a tale
On the wall of shale
They flutter like the quail
Majestic as the whale
Save it for the weekend
You'll save it for the weekend
Save it for the weekend
You work to live, anyways
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
And through the window, the leaves of Fall
Fall gently on the pond - the shrubbery green - the sediment beneath it all
The insects chirp their mating calls
Survival of the fittest
Life finding a purpose
Reflections on the surface
The shell of Darwin's tortoise
Save it for the weekend
Yeah, you'll save it for the weekend
Save it for the weekend
You work to live, anyways
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
Ooooh
Save it for the weekend
Eyes fixed on the living room wall
Transfixed on the patterns - searching for meaning in it all
