On A Sunday Afternoon - Madeleine Peyroux

Nobody’s causing any trouble

Nobody’s trying to pick a fight

We’re all just soaking up this Sunday summer sun

Feeling glad to be alive

Ain’t gonna worry bout tomorrow

And even less about today

We’re gonna watch the light go down on the horizon

Let ev’ry moment slip away

Jesse tore up his apartment

Just why he wouldn’t say

Now he sits there in his bedroom and he won’t come out to play

Oh, yeah

It’s a Sunday Afternoon

Got Cap’n Crunch and Reefer and old cartoons

When I get up tomorrow

It’ll be too soon

We’re lazing on a Sunday afternoon

The daily news keeps getting stranger

But medical Mary keeps me cool

They all used to say I’d be a failure but I’m breezin'

Although I know sometimes

I get a bit confused

Everybody needs a purpose

Some kind of driving force in life

I ain’t gonna have the admiration of the world but I’m already famous in my mind

Martha hitched from San Francisco back to her parents' by the Bay

She’s doin' mandalas and boxing at least that’s what the doctors say

Oh yeah

It’s a Sunday afternoon

Got Cap’n Crunch and Reefer and old cartoons

If the aliens are comin'

Hope they come soon

We’re lazing on a Sunday afternoon
