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

Give me a minute, a man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
