Our Day Trip - Nina Nastasia

Let’s not go to work this morning

Let’s not wait to leave the city

We’ve got just enough money

Let’s see how far we can amble

One day can make all the difference

Rinse the red dirt in the water

Can you stay with me and tell them you’re sick

I’ll pack us a meal for our day trip

We’ll be safe out in the sun

We’ll split a bottle on a boat

Two souls alone out on a lake

It will be the perfect afternoon

We can lose our clothes and have a swim

Your free hand waving from the gate

The metal shining at your waist

You had so much more ambition
