The Longer I Lay Here - Kevin Devine

One, two, three, one ready go…

You’re up with the sunrise

And down when the work’s been done

Your excellence industry

Diligence naturally

I would like to be you

Just for a few habit-forming years

Laziness cuts me like fine cutlery

I need a miracle — someone to help me

Help myself

Sweet jesus, i need you

Forgive me this sin

Not hookers or heroin, gambling or gin

It sounds so ridiculous, but i just can’t lick this

I need a miracle — someone to help me

Help myself

Someone to help me

Help myself
