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
