"Up On The Roof" - Drifters

"When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face

And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me"

...Oh well, it's Wednesday...guess it's time to get over it.
