Everything Stalls While I Putter Around

[Verse 1] The summer comes on but it burns you right out The winter gets long but it's gone with the sun And everything stalls while I putter around My friends all get married The state of my art Well It can't be described in one sentence or less I gave it a try, transformed my distress My dreams take flight My heart beats strong But it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing [Chorus] But it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing But it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing [Verse 2] The clock is a slug Inching forward on time The year is a flash Gone as fast as the light My publications are crawling While dreaming of walking My family gets old but they're gone before long The world is a laugh and we're living a joke The truth is all stretched and we're stuck on the spokes Of the wheel that's the world It's so funny We're told it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing so we're told. [Chorus] But it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing But it doesn't mean much No It don't mean a thing [Verse 3] The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping [Verse 4] The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping The time keeps on slipping
