"The Business of Life" Locked in a land where consistency rules We strive to be inconsistent I want to sleep in your arms all day I want to listen to music and play I want to go to the beach and sea I want to write, I want to sing But then we need money And I can't use my computer while swimming at the beach So the conflict rages on A gentle fire in my heart on the way to work Fake kisses and unnecessary hellos The time clock ticks and it's ruling my life Can't sleep too much, can't do too much Or else I'll miss that faithful punch in and out I want to kiss you all over all day I want to listen to distant waves I want to drive away from all this And give a kiss off to the Business of Life
