Lyrics
The Longer I Lay Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One, two, three, one ready go
You're up with the sunrise
And down when the work's been done
Your excellence industry
Diligence naturally
I would like to be you
Just for a few habit-forming years
Laziness cuts me like fine cutlery
I need a miracle, someone to help me
Help myself
Sweet Jesus, I need you
Forgive me this sin
Not hookers or heroin, gambling or gin
It sounds so ridiculous, but I just can't lick this
I need a miracle, someone to help me
Help myself
Someone to help me
Help myself
