The Importance Of Being Idle

Lyrics for The Importance Of Being Idle

I sold my soul for the second time 'Cause the man don't pay me I begged my landlord for some more time He said, "Son, the bill's waiting" My best friend called me the other night He said, "Man, are you crazy?" My girlfriend told me to get a life She said, "Boy, you lazy" But I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit I can't get a life if my heart's not in it I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine Give me a minute, a man's got a limit I can't get a life if my heart's not in it I lost my faith in the summertime 'Cause it don't stop raining The sky all day is as black as night But I know I can't blame me I begged my Doctor for one more line He said, "Son, words fail me" There ain't no place to be killing time I guess I'm just lazy I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
