Chorus:

Well just today i was forced to say

I'm goin' on a permanent holiday

I'll drop what i'm doin', it's okay

I'm goin' on a permanent holiday



Well I left a note sayin' i'll be gone for a long time

Yeah a long long time

It's gonna take a lot to bring me back now

Won't spend another day in this heart attack city

It's messed up here and everything's money

Those well heeled boys that think they're so funny

I left a note sayin' i'll be gone



Chorus



Well told them all i wasn't comin' back for a long time

Yeah, a long long time

Well everything's fad and as for the fame

Well everything's got it's fifteen minutes

No idea where it all went bad

But I guess you can't tell it till you get down in it

Told them all I wasn't coming back



Well maybe i'll go to France or maybe Spain

Cuz the work that they do here is the kind that numbs my brain

I need to get away and i'm never coming back

Cuz my mind just turned off and my body's out of whack

Hey!



Va-ca-tion!



Just today I was forced to say

I'm going' on a permanent holiday

I'll drop what i'm doin' it's okay

I'm going on a permanent holiday



Repeat



Well I left a note sayin' i'll be gone for a long time
