Weekends in bed, no scramble eggs, or bacon
I just have time for you
Backs on the grass, heads in the clouds, we
Closed our eyes
Enjoy the view

We don't wanna hear
The real world passing by
Saying that we're crazy

We spend all our time lying side by side
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy doing nothing
We spend all our time running for our lives
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy, doing nothing.

No magazines or DVD's we both got
Better things to do
I'll hold your hand
Or shall we dance together
It's so hard to choose

Every time we hear
The whole world rushing by
I know that we're not crazy

We spend all our time lying side by side
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy doing nothing
We spend all our time running for our lives
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy, doing nothing

Should be working hard
Instead of lying here naked
Phone rings but I wont take it
'Cause you only get one life, only get one life

All our time lying side by side
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy doing nothing
We spend all our time running for our lives
Going nowhere, it's really something
Getting busy, doing nothing

All our time, doing nothing
All our time, getting busy doing nothing
