about

Offset weekend is the 3rd track of Songs on the eve of dismissal, featuring Lorena del Mar, lyrics by Bastiaan Geleijnse.

lyrics

Off-site

We’ve been working for so long
never took a rest
Our innovative talent crew
has followed vital changes through
to keep up with the best
(But) once a year we break away
from the office murk
in an informal rendezvous,
with pep talks, games and barbecue
we contemplate our work

chorus:
off-site weekend
(our) team dynamics need review
and dogmas disappear
off-site weekend
we talk projected revenues
until it’s time for beer

chorus 2:
off-site weekend
We look each other in the eye
(we do that once a year)
off-site weekend
creative visions multiply
Until it’s time for beer!
