Lazy Head and Sleepy Bones
Always disagree
Though everybody says they should be friends
They're too tired to see
When Sleepy Bones says he's feeling tired
Lazy Head wants to rest
When Lazy Head says "it's number one"
Sleepy Bones says "it's best"
When Lazy Head uses imagination
Sleepy Bones daydreams
Sleepy Bones says "it's not what it looks like"
And Lazy Head says "it's not what it seems"
Lazy Head and Sleepy Bones
Always disagree
Though everybody says they should be friends
They're too tired to see
When Lazy Head says somebody's skinny
Sleepy Bones says thin
When Sleepy Bones says "identical"
Lazy Head says "twin"
When Lazy Head says "the window is closed"
Sleepy Bones says "it's shut"
When Sleepy Bones says that something isn't
Lazy Head says it's not
Lazy Head and Sleepy Bones
Both take naps so long
And even though they should be friends
They can't get along
Lazy Head and Sleepy Bones
Always disagree
Though everybody says they should be friends
They're too tired to see
Quoth the Johns:
Inspired by the relaxed grooves of The Band, we lay all the way back on the couch to capture this '70's folk-rock vibe. Dan Miller had his eyes almost completely closed as he delivered some highly mellow slide guitar, while Dan Hickey created a thick drum and percussion bed in which to crash.
