Story Behind the Song
Rock waltz with classical overtones. Originally it was about 20 minutes
long with all these different movements, but then I pared it down to the
3 1/2 minutes in which it now exists. It was recorded in just 34,133 takes!
Lyrics
In order that we may form a more perfect union
Take off your clothes, drop what you're doing
And lay down beside me
I know that one thing is true
If there's one thing worse than the blues
It's knowing you're feeling it too, oh
Monday to Sunday's a long way to go
The burdens of living can be unforgiving
Conditions arising, so compromising
But don't take a pill, just 'cause the TV says so
If you don't step out of the flow
You might drown in the undertow, oh
Monday to Sunday's a long way to go
Unplug the telephone, I'll put some music on
Take a breath, dim the lights low
Outside intrusion's a form of pollution
Disconnect, let it all go....
[interlude]
Just draw the curtain when bullshit is closing in
Hang out a "don't disturb" sign
Try to remember why we got together
I touched your life, you touched mine
In order that we may form a more perfect union
And keep from becoming part of the confusion
Lay down beside me, I know that it's so
Monday to Sunday's a long way to go
Monday to Sunday's a long way to go
