The Importance Of Being Idle

I sold my soul for the second time
'Cos 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, you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said: "Boy, you 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 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
A man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I lost my faith in the summertime
'Cos it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said: "Son, words fail me
It ain't your place to be killing time"
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
