Скачать или смотреть "Lazy-Eyed Dreamer" - Eli Elkus & lala

I was sittin’ up on what they call Poet’s Seat one lazy summer afternoon (a bench that sits on top of a ridge that overlooks the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts) and I was tryin’ to be a poet and such and tryin’ to not know it and such... and I was sittin’ there watchin' at all the busybody people in the town down below move around like little industrious ants through streets doin’ whatever it is they do to keep themselves busy enough so that they don’t stop to question just what it’s all for (lest we stop and enjoy ourselves for a moment of this blip of time we’ve been given in this wonderful place) and this lazy-eyed song started comin' along… and it'd been a long time comin' from all of that hard workin' slow movin' dream weaving Lara and I'd been up to... and it sorta just drifted right in like a warm breeze...

Well, by the time I’d gotten around to writing it all down some months later, Lara and I were on a joy ride not far outside of Joshua Tree National Park in southern California when we pass this boarded up old ranch with a water tower on top of it that says “Lazy One”. Jaws agape, our wide eyes bright like the light bulbs that'd just gone off in both our brains, with one look at one another we hit the breaks, threw it in reverse, pulled up, got out, poked around, didn’t see a soul in sight and start rollin’ before we knew any different. Some time later (so as to not ruin a perfectly lazydazical song with something so silly as ambition) we got around to recording it and putting it all together…

C#
I’m a lazy-eyed dreamer
A#7
I caught the no sleep fever
D#7 G#
My mind’s awake travelin’ in space all night and all day
C#
Add it up and I’ma workin’
A#7
Longer hours than your average person
D#7 G# C#
Math says that nine to five’s got nothin’ on me and my lazy-eyed dream

My offices is always movin’
See, location saves me from commutin’
My home on wheels wherever I go it’s my slow movin’ dream
You won’t find me on the highway
See me on the scenic byways
Sunset catchin’ that gleam
Diggin’ the scene of my lazy-eyed dream

(Whistlin')

And I’m a lazy-eyed dreamer
‘Cause life it could be so much sweeter
How could they know?
Always on the go… sometimes they get close
We sit and listen to the birds sing
Their jitters quit until their phones ring
They say, “we gotta go get out ducks in a row, enough of lazy-eyed dreams…”

But I’m a lazy-eyed dreamer
Yes, a real life dream weaver
My mind’s always that place in between the days and a daze
When you’re a lazy-eyed dreamer
Well life just keeps on gettin’ sweeter every day
When all you believe is all that you see in your lazy-eyed dream
D#7 G#
Now there ain’t a thing that I'd rather be
D#7 G#
When all I believe is all that I see
C# G# C#
In my lazy-eyed dream...
