The sun is up but I am down
I got the morning layabouts
The day is a devil and I am Faust
I got the morning layabouts

Maybe it’s the weather or something like that
Feeling overwhelmed or feeling too fat
No need to send the doctor
There ain’t no cure
Cause it don’t last forever
I’ve had it before

The coffee’s on but I am off
I got the morning layabouts
Pessimism by word of mouth
I got the morning layabouts

Maybe it’s the weather or something like that
Like young Bob said in a New York flat
No need to send the doctor
There ain’t no cure
Cause it don’t last forever
I’ve had it before

Like the morbs or tumbled lace
All these things I’ve failed to taste
Keep it coming, keep up the pace
When you slow down… the time will waste

My character traits are on the couch
I got the morning layabouts
The clock strikes 12 without a doubt
I got the morning layabouts

Maybe it’s the weather or something like that
I’m not thinking clever, I’m not thinking fast
No need to send the doctor
There ain’t no cure
Cause it don’t last forever
I’ve had it before
