lyrics

I need to take a breather
I'm hardly Mr. Joie de Vivre
Life can be tough
And yes, I do look rough
To be perfectly honest I think they are crazy
To accuse me of being purposefully slipshod and lazy
I do use first takes but I do not take breaks
Just because I am a person who seemingly makes
No effort
But I do really try
And try as I might I just can't get it right
No effort
Not thinking what's next
I'm lost in the fog of my back catalogue

You are an example of how to absolutely
Work hard at life and art and maintain all your beauty
You levitate above all the flakes
That's because you have a talent that seemingly takes
No effort
But I see you work hard
You have all these powers and you put in the hours
No effort
A person of skill
It might take you a while but you're best by a mile
No effort
