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
