Wouldn't Know What Day It Was

Went out to lunch
Just the other day
Ran into an old friend
She was really blown away
Her eyes were glazed vacant

And I couldn’t follow a word that she’d say
She used to be so smart
Now she’s fallen all apart
And you wouldn’t know what day it was

Went to a session
On a sunny afternoon
There were all these people dancing
To those off-beat Rasta tunes
There was one wan aging hippy
With his dreadlocks + his worn-out shoes
He was trying to keep the beat
But he kept slipping off his feet
And you wouldn’t know what day it was

Went to a party
Just the other night
There were all these people dancing
They were looking very bright
The were hugging and kissing indiscriminately
There was a guy in the corner
Peddling ice + ecstasy
They were very cute
And apparently astute
But you wouldn’t know what day it was

Went to a church
Just the other day
To hear a few last words
About a friend who passed away
They said that he was clever
What a pity that he died so young
His life was hard to crack
With a monkey on his back
And you wouldn’t know what day it was

Don’t you know it’s true
No matter what you do
You wouldn’t know what day it was
