[Verse 1] Leave me be, I’m crushed today, Even my eyelids weigh a ton, I say. The burden of being awake’s too tall, I feel like I’ve been in a barroom brawl. [Verse 2] Don’t need your judgment, fake and tight, Can’t a man be lazy, just for one night? My body longs to lie down flat, I’ve caught a yawn-borne plague — imagine that! [Verse 3] My brain is fried, I’m running low, Yet here I sit, still forced to show. Even propping up my head’s too much, Forgive me, friends, today I’ve lost my touch. [Chorus] Oh sweet laziness, please don’t go, Recovering from you would be too slow. Don’t ask me questions, I can’t respond — A sleepy curse has me far beyond. [Verse 4] Let’s talk tomorrow, I’m out of steam, I’m the warehouse of every idle dream. I’ll pack myself away for the day, Not one clear sentence left to say. [Verse 5] Goodbye, dear world, and friends, goodnight, You’ll find me tucked in, out like a light. I must recover from my useless strain, If I don’t sleep now, I’ll go insane. [Outro] I'll bury my head beneath a cloud-like dome, Recharge myself like an old dead phone. No trumpet blast will make me stir — I wouldn't be useful, that I’m sure.
