Lyrics

The Longer I Lay Here

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
