Momus Working From Home Lyrics

"Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so
After all, my mother told me as a boy
Ever to confess you're bored
Means you have no inner resources"

Working from home
Dying alone
Nothing happens in the zone
In the vacuum you want to heave
Exposed and hidden
Struggling to breathe

Frightened pirate
Frightened sheep
Bored awake
Bored asleep

Bored
Bored as hell
Nothing to taste
Nothing to smell

Nothing to buy
On the shelves
To defy
But ourselves

And who to f*ck?
And who to fight?
And what to draw?
And what to write?

"The sky flashes, the great sea yearns
We ourselves flash and yearn"

Frightened by people Frightened alone
By the web
And by the phone

Bored of papers
Scared of the sun
All the lepers
And all the lungs

Tell yourself that you can face the pain
Going sensibly insane

Scared to death
By everything
With a fever that soaks you to the skin

Working from home
Dying alone
Nothing happens in the zone
In the vacuum you want to heave
Exposed and hidden
Struggling to heave

Frightened pirate
Frightened sheep
Bored awake
Scared to sleep

"Ever to confess you're bored
Means you have no inner resources
I conclude now I have no inner resources
Because I am heavy bored"
