My Eyes Won't Shut
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.
And I've got nothing else to do
But waste this lazy afternoon
So I will
So I will
And I take my cue from the old spruce tree
Spends all day just watching the breeze
Float by
Float by
And she watches the Kodiak bear
Who knows how to live without going nowhere?
All day
All day
And my eyes will not shut
And my legs will not strut
I was born to be a clown
But my girl she says to me to turn it down
Right now
Right now
But I can't help it. Can't you see?
There's a bright red light that shines on me
All day
All day
I spend my time just running around
Chasing myself across the town
Always
Always
And there's a feeling in my gut
Telling me to shut the fuck up
