lyrics

Look at all the busy bees
pushing back blackness with industry
when they get home they look at me
and try to disguise the dismay in their eyes
what they want to, but don't say is:
"have you really been sitting their all day?"

The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream.

All of the horses are tethered together,
with bits in their mouths they pull at the leather.
It's better not to begin wondering wither the carriage flies
severed ties make crazy eyes crazy eyes crazy eyes.

All of the horses are tethered together,
with bits in their mouths they pull at the leather.
a bee outside the hive gets crazy eyes crazy eyes

The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream.

If this restlessness could be spent in one spasm
if the yarn of yearning would ever unravel,
like a movie ending: showdown, explosion, wedding
ding dong, ding dong, ding.

If this restlessness could be spent in one spasm
if the yarn of yearning would ever unravel,
like a movie ending. But it's never so easy,
the conclusion comes (if it comes)
feebly.

The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream,
The guitar is the idler's dream.
