<blockquote><br />
(I'm taking my shit off)<br/><br />
<br />
(Cloud) Stacks of contracts, piles of mail<br/><br />
So many dreams for rent or sale<br/><br />
How many messages on my phone?<br/><br />
They're far away, I'm still here alone<br/><br />
<br />
The sun's gone down, stay a while longer<br/><br />
My feelings are drowned with the booze much stronger<br/><br />
I need a companion, who could that be?<br/><br />
I think I need a vacation from me<br/><br />
<br />
Take the medication from myself - me, myself and I<br/><br />
Take the well deserved vacation from myself - me, myself and I<br/><br />
Me, myself and I<br/><br />
<br />
(Cloud) My curtains at home have colours I don't remember<br/><br />
(Saaresto) Oh I don't remember<br/><br />
(Cloud) There's a leak in the sink that I forgot to fix<br/><br />
(Saaresto) Yeah, I'm always forgetting that stuff<br/><br />
(Cloud) The milk in the fridge is from last November<br/><br />
(Saaresto) Could've been September<br/><br />
(Cloud) Well my work and my home life is not a good mix<br/><br />
(Saaresto) Oh no no no no no<br/><br />
<br />
(Both) Taking a vacation from myself - me, myself and I<br/><br />
Taking a deserved vacation from myself - me, myself and I<br/><br />
Me, myself and I<br/><br />
<br />
(Saaresto) Ohh yeah!<br/><br />
There's a crown in my hair<br/><br />
Noone in my bed, no<br/><br />
I just need to take it to somewhere<br/><br />
I don't know when<br/><br />
Has she set a date<br/><br />
You could be too late, oh<br/><br />
<br />
(Both) Take the medication from myself - me, myself and I<br/><br />
Taking a vacation from myself<br/><br />
Take the well deserved vacation from myself<br/><br />
(Saaresto) Myself, myself, myself!<br/><br />
(Cloud) Me, myself and I<br />
