LYRICS

Wednesday's a non-day
The weather's unreal
Greyer wind, solstitial

Blandly awake by the
Bay of bright teal
So interstitially

Time to move on…
It's time to move on…

The waves are bright, the days as-is
Empirical, uncritical

Thoughtless day, in Howth or Bray
Sit with me and watch with me
Time-dark seas of entropy

So far past
Our prime


(Eternal day / No miracle / Time like molasses)

Time to move on…
Magically by miracle to Thursday
