Lazy day for a mongrel song
But I keep moving on
Wasting words and what they do
Lovers, they can tell you lies
Nobody wants to be surprised
I remember seeing you
But I got a lot to be happy about
That I wanna start being happy about
Ooh, ooh
ย
And I saw the distance in your eyes
Like you'd lived a thousand lives
I wanted to live one like you
Guess I got what I deserve
Cut the rain and lose the nerve
But singing songs is all I know
ย
Hit the lights and they go out
Leave the stage, in come the crowd
They're too late to see the show
'Cause I got a lot to be happy about
That I wanna start being happy about
Ooh, ooh
ย
And I saw the distance in your eyes
Like you'd lived a thousand lives
I wanted to live one like you
Lazy day for a mongrel song
But I keep moving on
Wasting words and what they do
