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
