Getting under the covers at nine

Now, my vacation nears its end
I've had some time to clear my head
Yet, when Monday comes, I won't pretend
You know I'll try to stay in bed.

9:00
1. Sacred Cowboy - Norwogian Weed (2:08)

Yeah, my vacation is over and I have to go back to work on Monday, and I don't want to, and I want to hide under my covers, and so that's what I'm playing. Covers and some originals where the cover was more famous.
