Office Blues

Echo Beach
by Martha and the Muffins

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around

From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time...

I may hit up Ocean Beach in San Francisco...provided I can get a spot since we're having Memorial Day weekend--

Perhaps the reports of possible thunderstorms will keep the tourists at bay.

Perhaps I shall have to kill you out of insane envy.

Perhaps I'll let you come if you can get here within the next 26 hours...you've got plenty of time to make it! ;) Ready? Set? Go!

Perhaps you should pay for my flight ticket?

Oooooooooh, I dunno--exchange rates and all that- :) Depends how much you need...that, and if you want to go back...:)

Pfft, remember that the Pacific is insanely cold. Seriously!
