Joel Plaskett Lazy Bones
Slow it down, just for a while
Drag it out for a couple of miles
Don’t spend tonight out on the tiles
You need to sleep, you need to dream
You need to slip into places unseen
Slide into space with the snow on the screen
Lazy bones, that’s what they’ll say
But you don’t need to make a dime today
Lazy bones, that’s what they’ll think
Just stand on the shore and watch ‘em sink
You can float and you can fly
Like branches and boats and birds in the sky
Beyond the beyond, leave your troubles behind
And when you awake in the middle of the night
Sleep in your eyes, no one in sight
Come knock on my window, I’ll leave on the
Light of your life, life of your own
Light on your feet, feeling alone
Light up the sky, why would you fight?
Under the stars that light up your night
Taking your time, making your way
Taking your breath, pacing your day
Waving your hands from your hazy home
Lazy bones, don’t be afraid
Of your place in the sun, of the choices you made
The game that they’re playing doesn’t have to be played
They think this rock was meant to be rolled
And the time that they bought was meant to be sold
Come on, turn ‘em all off, turn lead into gold
Lazy bones, look at you now
Made in the shade and taking a bow
Lazy bones, that’s what they’ll think
Just stand on the shore and watch ‘em sink
