I'm So Laid Back, I'm Laid Out
The people were running
The place was on fire
The smoke was a-growing
And the flames were getting higherÂÂ
The fire chief was shouting
As he knocked down my door
He said you better move your butt boy
Or you'll knock on heaven's doorÂÂ
I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no moreÂÂ
The rent needing paying
The insurance was due
The roof needing fixing
And the rain was coming throughÂÂ
But the forecast is sunny
So I'll stay here on my back
Tomorrow is another day
It's cozy in the sackÂÂ
I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no moreÂÂ
There were times when you wanted to be number one
And the glamour and the glitter were turning him on
But he realized that it was better to be number two (ooh)
My luxury is living
'Cause I can't afford to die
I'm a diletantic mother
With a twinkle in my eyeÂÂ
Let the others do the running
I'm content to take a cut
Percentages are burning
And I'm happy in my rutÂÂ
I'm so laid back, I'm laid out
I'm so caved in and spaced out
I'm wired to the teeth
I'm fused to the floor
So baby don't you bug me no more
Don't you bug me no more
No more, no more, no more, [etc.]
Silence
and she speaks outright
the only difference
is in who we are tonite
and she waits outside
knock knock
she cries
its cold out here
but a little to warm inside
the real storm is inside
save your face
i want you to know me
find your place
but dont you come inside
i want you to know
that you were my first mistake
and little does she know
what lies within
and little does it show
my sins
but she'll never get it back if she doesnt relax she'll never get it back
