Good day, sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me, but I know you
See, you're my favorite star
Fol-la-la-low you, I will
So, lets get moving
Who needs shelter when the morning's coming?
Absolutely, there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no, not anyone
By the clock, the cock rooster crows
Then off to work there everybody goes
Slow, but eventually they get there
They're picking up the day shift
Back where all left off, confined
And they're pecking at relationships
You know, it's only a worthless piece of shit
Who needs shelter when the morning's coming?
Absolutely, there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?
Not me, no, not anyone
I'd sleep it all away
But the sun won't let me
I'd miss those lovely days
Of summer
Well, good day, sunlight
I'd like to say how truly bright you are
You don't know me, but I know you
See, you're my favorite
