lyrics

I have this project that never gets off the ground
It's rather brilliant
So you might wanna stick around
Cos when I launch it
From sea to shining sea
It's gonna make their eyeballs bleed
Procrastination has been my middle name
Some say it suits me
Keeps me out the game
But I may be rising
From my featherbed
Got to get them demons bled
Need a tool or two
To complete my master plan
And a little stack of money, honey
Collections in the can
And you, holding my hand
Baby, hold my hand
Patch this little rowboat
Don't wanna spring a leak
From the hot mouth of this estuary
Out this tiny creek
Cos when we launch it
From sea to shining sea
There'll be no words that they can speak
And we'll be singing, laughing
Laughing to ourselves
We knew we had it in us
Every time the basin swells
They'll look so puzzled
Like wuzzles in the zoo
Just a matter of time
Before we blew
Who knew?
We did
Just need a tune or two
To complete my master plan
And a little jar of honey
From the green room of the band
They'll look so puzzled
Like wuzzles in the zoo
Just a matter of time
Before we blew
Just a matter of time
Before we blew
Just a matter of time
Before we're through
Just a matter
Just a matter
Just a matter of time
