Long And Lazy River Lyrics by Nellie Mckay

Long And Lazy River

You're supposed to have a laughAnd have a lot to sayYou're supposed to have a gasAnd make your getawayBut do you know you can't be wrongHow do you know you can't be wrongYou've got a long and lazy river to your soulI wasn't sure about anything, noI was secure in a renderingHeaded west now I guess I'ma wanderin, noWishing I weren't good at squanderingAll I haveYou've got a lot that's lameAnd all your alibisI've got a lot of shameAnd things are dead insideBut do you know you can't be wrongHow do you know you can't be wrongYou've got a long and lazy river to your soulI know I wear you downYou're looking awful boredBut if you're skipping townAnd say you'll take no moreWell do you know you can't be wrongHow do you know you can't be wrongYou've got a long and lazy river to your soulColor me damned,Feeling petrified, yeahTear up my plans leave me weather blightGuess it's pastIt's a flash from the other sideFading fast, goes the mastIt's a better climb, all I hadAnd now I know y
ou're madI know you're filled with hateI know that as I stand hereYou know I'm too lateBut do you know you can't be wrongHow do you know you can't be wrongYou've got a long and lazy river to your soulTo your soulTo your soul
