Lazy Bones - Joel Plaskett

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
