It didn't feel like Sunday 
It didn't feel like June 
When he met his silent partner 
In that lonely corner room 
That overlooked the marquee 
Of the plaza all-adult 
And he was not lookin' for romance 
Just someone he could trust 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 
It wasn't no way to live 
But he could up with it for a little while 
He was workin' on something big 

Speed ball rang the night desk 
Said "send me up a drink" 
The night clerk said "It's Sunday man... 
Wait a minute, let me think 
There' a little place outside of town 
Might still have some wine" 
Speed ball said "forget it man 
Can I have an outside line?" 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 
It wasn't no way to live 
But he could up with it for a little while 
He was workin' on something big 

It was Monday when the day maids 
Found the still made bed 
All except the pillows 
That lay stacked up 
At the head 
And one said "I know 
I've seen his face 
I wonder who he is" 
The other said "probably 
Just another clown 
Working on something big" 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 
It wasn't no way to live 
But he could up with it for a little while 
He was workin' on something big
