Lazy Bones

Robin Thicke · Beautiful World [2003]

I'm taking time out for reflecting

I'm going one on one with who I'd like to be

I'm leaning towards the sun

Watching flowers blossom all around me



I tried wailin' to a wall

Standin' like porcelain, mumblin',

Salt water rollin' down side burns,

Searchin' for the answers, handling the truth

Seein' it for myself is the only way

Forget a winner, stop being a sinner first

Ruining your liver, smoking cigarettes and worse

Love is a killer, the leading cause of suicide

How to survive a day in the life of times



[chorus]

I'll rock the vote not to hear you

Tell me that I'm watching too much T.V.

Then I'll hope that I can win with the lazy bones I'm livin' in

It's not my fault I wasn't chosen

I was focused in the open

I deserve so much better than this



I'm shooting airballs from the free-throw line

I'm batting lefty when I know that I'm alright

I'm reaching out for the sun

Being passed by shooting stars overnight



I been livin' with a small inner child

Antsy, I can't sit still for a minute

My shortage of concentration ruins meditation

And my motivation ain't shit

I need a way

My tolerance ain't what it used to be

Dollars make sense sellin' out for a fee

If I didn't have faith, could you still save me?

How to survive the lines we hate to lead



[chorus]



Fuck the future

I'm in the present plague

Can't be a loser, my girl won't stay

I don't know computers, I was sick that day

How to survive the mines we chose to lay



alright...



[chorus 3x]
