Things you don't have to do

I walk down the diamond studded concrete canyon
Nobody looked me in the eye
Tried to fly to the moon
Only made it to the sky
I was looking, looking for
I couldn´t find a friend
Searching for a clear connection
Without a digital send
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
Bill doesn´t call me anymore
I hear he´s found religion
Big haired blonde apprentice beautician
And all the words and gesticulations that came before
Don´t seem to mean a thing
You can feel fine to drop a dime
If you´re ever hanging by a string
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
I hear voices crying out
Echoes on the boulevard
Contentious rambling incantations
Of some senile bard
There´s too much going on around here
To keep my head from spinning
And this constant acceleration
Blurs any ties to the beginning
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
Nobody looked me in the eye
Tried to fly to the moon
Only made it to the sky
I was looking, looking for
I couldn´t find a friend
Searching for a clear connection
Without a digital send
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
Bill doesn´t call me anymore
I hear he´s found religion
Big haired blonde apprentice beautician
And all the words and gesticulations that came before
Don´t seem to mean a thing
You can feel fine to drop a dime
If you´re ever hanging by a string
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
I hear voices crying out
Echoes on the boulevard
Contentious rambling incantations
Of some senile bard
There´s too much going on around here
To keep my head from spinning
And this constant acceleration
Blurs any ties to the beginning
Ain´t it just a little scary sometimes
To find the lies that you know to be true
I´ll find you smiling about
Things you don´t have to do
