Rest A While
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.
I got rid of my jackets and coats, I threw out all of my pants
I got sick of my stinking clothes, I had to get rid of them
I'm not yet considering replacing them, I'm only glad to be rid of them and
Rest a while, rest a while
I lay out in the sun too long, and burned off all of my skin
I felt so dizzy I got into my car and got into an accident
Out of the burning wreckage I fell only wanting to lay where I fell and
Rest a while, rest a while
Rest a while!
I became friendly with Ruy Lopez the author of works on chess
Ruy had said you're incorrect, he cut me off and acted mad
He won't even talk to me now but i don't care cause I'm sick of that guy and I need to
Rest a while, rest a while
Rest a while, rest a while
