Procrastination Blues

I don't want it all, just what I have earned (2x)
I just want to make the most of my next turn
People get too much too soon and then they never learn
To see you pass by, I would give up my next meal
And all the ones after that if we could ever strike a deal
But I’m well aware of the limits of my own appeal
We’re all gonna go, the way that water runs (2x)
Some go a piece at a time, some of us go all at once
You need a big imagination just to fill up all this space
Where the wind blows steady till your clock has got a crooked face
The hands of time seem to have a way of tearing up place
Don’t put off till tomorrow what you can fail to do today
Oh the earnest thing is slipping, so won’t you kindly look away
November skies seem to have a way of getting on to gray
Slow fascination procrastination blue (2x)
Finish this off as soon as I can tie my shoe
You need a big imagination just to fill up all this space
You can spend your whole life here, yes, and never leave a trace
You’ve got a hole in your sock and your shoe has got a broken lace
I don’t want it all just what I am due (2x)
I’m gonna find out what they stole from us and get it back to you (2x)
