Idle Hands Blues

 

Sitting here waiting like birds on a line

Stressed at best in this awkward confine

I’ve got a case of the idle man’s blues

 

Sitting here waiting like birds on a line

Squawking and flapping, just passing the time

I’ve got a case of the idle man’s blues

 

Oh someone save me from myself

Oh, someone, take me off the shelf

I’m so alone and I can’t help myself

If idle hands are the devil’s playground, 

You see, Lucifer would  have a ball with me

​

'Cause I’m still waiting, just burnin the time

Waiting for life to happen, I’ll be the last in line

Come one special someone, save me from the idle man’s blues

 

Oh someone save me from myself

Oh, someone, take me off the shelf

I’m so alone and I can’t help myself

If idle hands are the devil’s playground, 

You see, Lucifer would will sure be thrilled with me

 

'Cause I’m still waiting, I'm a bird out of time

Waiting for life to happen, I’ll be the last in line

Come one special someone, come one special someone

Come one special someone, save me from the idle man’s blues
