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 bills are waiting"

My best friend called me the other night

He said, "Man, are you crazy?"

My girlfriend told me to get a life

life she said boy you're 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 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

My hand'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'm not complaining.

I'll check my doctor for one more line

Said some words fail me

It ain't no place to be killing time

And 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
