The Road - Lazy Habits

First burst on this earth may 21st

Coughing like a hearse at his birth

Kevin thought he was cursed

First words that he heard

Father turned to the nurse

She said «what's it all worth if we’re hurting him worse»

But life doesn’t always work out like it’s s’posed to

LIke bread doesn’t pop when you watch the toaster

Used to say he’d be a star supernova

Running round school with a super-soaker

Head full of cotton wool never learned a lot at school

Pocket full of holes and a belly full of rocket fuel

But he never missed a shot of pool

So he thought he had a shot at keeping his pockets full

While I played hip-hop, Kevin learned trick-shots

Heard he got rushed outside of a chip shop

Years later saw him at one of our shows and that’s about the path he chose

There’s a road

There’s a path you have to follow

Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow

It’s just that fear that keeps you here

It’s just the sum of these misspent years

Thomas showed promise from the day he first dropped in

An honest lad thrown away at four from the promised land

Where he learned more than the gift of gab

He learned to chirps and chat Spanish see and that’s speaking modestly

Tom was an oddity, mind lost in the aether

Brightest of the sparks, lazy, baffled all his teachers

Only watched the trailers, got bored with the features

Used to hang his teeth but got collared in the preacher

Now following this rhyme like timelines

We descend on two scenes two separate lives

The result of two dreams with stars in their eyes

But one went blind but the other he saw sight

But which one is which

Shit it’s hard to find

Just remember that you can’t rewind

And you reap what you sow in kind

There’s a road

There’s a path you have to follow

Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow

It’s just that fear that keeps you here

It’s just the sum of these misspent years

There’s a road

See there’s a path you have to follow

Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow

It’s just that fear that keeps you here

It’s just the sum of these misspent years

There’s a road

There’s a path you have to follow

Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow

It’s just that fear that keeps you here

It’s just the sum of these misspent years

See there’s a road

There’s a path you have to follow

Forget your yesterdays and see tomorrow

It’s just that fear that keeps you here

It’s just the sum of these misspent years
