Life in the Slow Lane

I don't go to any crazy parties
I'm in bed before the clock hits 10pm
Then I sleep 8 hours and I
Do it all over again
I'm not built for the rock and roll lifestyle
I do drugs, yeah I'm hooked on ibuprofen
And paracetamol, they keep me
Rolling rolling rolling

I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated
I walk the line that is less complicated
Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead
When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed

I see posts from the people who are out and about
I got no fear of missing out

Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane

Sometimes I might go mad and push the boat out
Stay up 'til midnight, or even 1 o'clock
But it makes me tired and it takes me days
To get my brain straight again
I love my bed it is my favourite place to be
Nowhere else that is so warm and so cosy
I'm an addict, I'm addicted to sleep, I'm a
Narcoleptic son of a beach

I don't care, I don't want to see the sunrise
Don't understand how you can fight against your own eyes
Did it once and it nearly damn killed me
I'm happy lying in the dark beneath my duvet

I see posts from the people who are living the dream
But it looks like a nightmare to me

Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane

You might say that this is waving the white flag
Need to grab every hour and fight against
The dying of the light, but sometimes
Good things can happen in the night
I'm getting older, well it happens to us all, I finally
Hear the call that I'm not nineteen forever
I need to pull myself together
Not get down with the trumpets

It's not fair, but it's coded in my genome
The brakes are on, I'm starting with the slow down
I've got joints but they are arthritic
Instead of shots I'm drinking lots of Ovaltine
I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated
I walk the line that is less complicated
Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead
When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed

I see posts from the people who are out and about
I got no fear of missing out

Oh no, I'm living life in the slow lane

Fo sho' I'm living life in the slow lane, yeah
