The Slow Burn: Music
Darwin's Pet
(The Slow Burn)
(Paul D'Andrea)
"Darwin's Pet" by Paul D'Andrea
He wakes up Monday morning
Thinking that this week
Will be different this time
But in rolls Thursday evening
He wonders how the time
So quickly passed him by
He dreams of former glories
When all his victories
Were widely recognized
But all those friend’s high-fiving
Moved on long ago
When the time was clearly right
He roams the hallways
He feels a glance with every pass
“Why does he come around?”
“I hope I don’t end up like that?”
(chorus)
He waits for Sunday
He always worked many more
Than five days
So give him some respect
He was once one of the best
Of Darwin’s pets
He wakes up Monday morning
Thinking that this week
Will be different this time
But in rolls Thursday evening
He wonders how the time
So quickly passed him by
He roams the hallways
He feels a glance with every pass
“Why does he come around?”
“I hope I don’t end up like that?”
(chorus)
He waits for Sunday
He always worked many more
Than five days
So give him some respect
He was once one of the best
Of Darwin’s pets
