Take Off Your Sunglasses Songtext
von Ezra Furman & The Harpoons

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, okay, mmm

My baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
Well, she put on her skis and she slid downhill
Yeah, she slid downhill in her bright red muffler
Oh, my baby, my baby went out with her family to a ski resort in Colorado
And left me all alone 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"
And I said "Everybody loves each other these days"
Mmm-hmm, aw

I said, "I never get to go on any vacations"
I said, "I gotta go to work every day"
I said, "You get to slide downhill in your bright red muffler" (ooh-ooh-ooh)
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 off my sunglasses
"Take off your sunglasses"
I said, "Baby, oh the sun is bright, I need my sunglasses"
Ah, yeah

And then I woke in the middle of the night one night and I felt so unworthy
Yes, I woke up in the middle of the night one night and I felt so unworthy
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 wanna 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"

Oh, she said, well, "Take off your sunglasses"
I don′t wanna take off my sunglasses
"Take off your sunglasses"
I said, "Baby, oh why don't you take off your sunglasses?"
She said, "I already have"


I don′t need to think about things
I don't wanna think about in the middle of the night
In the middle of the day, I don′t wanna think about things
I don't wanna think about in the middle of the night
I don′t wanna think about it
I don't wanna think about it
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses

And everybody′s unworthy and (ooh, ooh)
Everybody loves everybody else
And everybody takes off their sunglasses
Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby, I don′t wanna fall into the patterns (ooh, ooh)
Oh, baby, oh, oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh, she said, "Take off your sunglasses"
I don't wanna take off my sunglasses
"Take off your sunglasses"
I said, "Baby, oh that′s like me asking you to take out your shoelaces"
So she took out her shoelaces, ah, oh
