Lazy Bones

(album: A Beautiful World - 2003)

Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, duh, duh, duh, do, do, do, do

I'm taking time out for reflecting (yeah)
And I'm going one on one with who I'd like to be
And I'm leaning towards the sun
Watching flowers blossom all around me

I tried wailing to a wall
Standing like porcelain, mumbling
Salt water rolling down side burns
Searching for the answers
Handling the truth
Seeing it for myself
Is the only way
Forget a winner
Stop being a sinner first
Ruining your liver
Smoking cigarettes and worse
Love is a killer
The leading cause of suicide
How to survive a day in the life of times

I'll rock the boat
To hear you tell me that I'm watching too much TV
Then I'll hope
That I can win with the lazy bones I'm living in
It's not my fault I wasn't chosen
I was focused in the open
I deserve so much better than this

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm shooting air balls from the free-throw line
I'm batting lefty when I know that I'm all right
And I'm reaching out for the sun
Being passed by shooting stars overnight

I been living with a small
Inner child, antsy
I can't sit still for a minute
My shortage of concentration ruins meditation
And my motivation ain't shit
I need a way
My tolerance
Ain't what it used to be
Dollars make sense
Selling out for the fee
If I didn't have faith
Could you still save me?
How to survive the lives we hate to lead

I'll rock the boat
To hear you tell me that I'm watching too much TV
Then I'll hope
That I can win with the lazy bones I'm living in
It's not my fault I wasn't chosen
I was focused in the open
I deserve so much better than this

Fuck the future
I'm in the present place
Can't be a loser
My girl won't stay
I don't know computers
I was sick that day
How to survive the mines we chose to lay

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll rock you

Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do
Duh, duh, duh, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

I'll rock the boat
To hear you tell me that I'm watching too much TV
Then I'll hope
That I can win with the lazy bones I'm living in
(You can do better than that)
It's not my fault I wasn't chosen
I was focused in the open
I deserve so much better than this
