The Way the Lazy Do Lyrics
Lying on your back
In the night so black
Dreaming of sweet love
Just beneath above
There's a light on in the house
See the bug see the mouse
Hear em fight, hear em shout
Hit the lights and go out
It's just that time of the year
that brings them here
Yesterday the day got colder
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new
Then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to way the way the lazy do
In the dirt of the flood
There's a stick in the mud
But in the heat of the sun
It is cool to be one
It's just that time of the year
So stick right here
Yesterday the day got colder
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new
Then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to lay the way the lazy do
May your thoughts be kind
May your knots unwind
May your dogs drink wine
May your days kill time
And may your fears go blind
As your regret rewinds
A little peace of mind
May you wake to find
It's just that time of the year
That holds you dear
In the night so black
Dreaming of sweet love
Just beneath above
See the bug see the mouse
Hear em fight, hear em shout
Hit the lights and go out
that brings them here
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to way the way the lazy do
There's a stick in the mud
But in the heat of the sun
It is cool to be one
So stick right here
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to lay the way the lazy do
May your knots unwind
May your dogs drink wine
May your days kill time
As your regret rewinds
A little peace of mind
May you wake to find
That holds you dear

awwwhhh yeaaaah
this song is like busting a 3 minute and 37 second bust nut
Two of my favorite Dr. Dog lines:
"May your days kill time"
and
"Love to lay the way the lazy do"
How very Syd Barrett (really a technique of classical poetry) of Scott to rhyme words within the line like that instead of just the end of the line
"Then today a rock rolled over Came to life to kill the clover Left to way the way the lazy do"
Easily one of my favorite Dr. Dog lyrics. The way the lazy do, coming out of life rather than being brought into it.
