Wow... just goes to show that simple "throwaway" tunes take WORK. Something about this assignment made me want to try a Gwen Stefani / Pharrel style - out there track and silly song. Anyway, this is what I came up w/ on a short week but it's harder than you would think to do silly and quirky! The idea here is 2 sides of the brain... one driving hard to WORK the other wanting to pull back. Eternal struggle, at least for me... Prob won't use this song for anything, but I might revisit the track!
lyrics
Summer is over Close up the pool
Sharpen your pencils Go back to school
No more excuses kick into first
Move fast Let's work
No no, dreaming my life away
Time is on my side
Why are you worrying
Not gonna pass you by
No time for sleeping get outta bed
Life of the party full speed ahead
Where's your motivation man
Last is worst
No no, dreaming my life away
Time is on my side
Why are you worrying
Not gonna pass you by
Needed a little break
To stop and rest my eyes
Why are u rushing me
What's on your mind?
