Take Off Your Sunglasses - Ezra Furman, The Harpoons

My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado

Well she put on her skis and she slid down hill

Yeah she slid downhill in her bright red mufflers

My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado

And left me all along for a couple of weeks

Well she called me up, she said I love you in the middle of the night

I said In the middle of the night everybody loves everybody else these days

She said Oh, in the middle of the day I love you very much

I said Everybody loves each other these days

I said I don’t ever get to go on any vacations

I said I’ve gotta go to work every day

I said You get to slide downhill in your bright red mufflers

She said I love you, oh I love you in the middle of the day

And she said

Take off your sunglasses

I don’t wanna take my sunglasses

Take off your sunglasses

I said baby the sun is bright

I need my sunglasses

And then I woke up in the middle of the night

One night and I felt so unworthy

I said I woke up in the middle of the night

One night and I felt so unworthy

It didn’t bother me too much, I think I am unworthy

And everybody’s unworthy of everybody else these days

Everybody’s unworthy of everybody else these days

And I don’t need to think about things I don’t want to think about

She called me up in the middle of the day

She said I love you in the middle of the night

I said In the middle of the night

Everybody loves everybody else in the middle of the day

She said

Take off your sunglasses

I don’t wanna take my sunglasses

Take off your sunglasses

I said why don’t you take off your sunglasses

She said I already have

I don’t want to think about

Things I don’t want to think about in the middle of the night

In the middle of the day I don’t want to think about

Things I don’t want to think about in the middle of the night

I don’t want to think about it

I don’t want to think about it

I don’t want to take off my sunglasses

Everybody’s unworthy and

Everybody loves everybody else and

Everybody takes off their sunglasses

Oh baby I don’t want to fall into the patterns

Oh baby, she said

Take off your sunglasses

I don’t wanna take my sunglasses

Take off your sunglasses

I said that’s like me asking you to take out your shoelaces

So she took out her shoelaces
