Lying On A Beach Lyrics - La De Da - Joel Plaskett

Somebody introduced me 

To a member of the club 

I think that they confused me 

With some other rub-a-dub-a-dub 

Now, I work on the fifth floor 

And nothing is my fault 

I take advice like margueritas 

With a heavy grain of salt 

I always wake up in the night 

Wondering if Im doing it right 

And if I had my way 

Id be getting on this flight tonight 

And in the morning Id be 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Lying to my family and friends 

Telling them that I have begun 

Trying to find the means to an end 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Lying just to cover my ass 

Lying in the sun on the beach 

Burning like the girls in the grass 

I should be working on my manners 

But Im working on my website 

All you star-spangled scanners 

Trying to photocopy moonlight 

Staring at the computer screen 

Feeling so alone and obscene 

Getting restless 

Getting randy 

Getting mean 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Looking for a little romance 

The temperatures a hundred and one 

Everybody take off your pants 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Trying to figure out what to do 

Lying in the sun on the beach 

I realized I did not have a clue 

Im full of hocus pocus 

And Im slower than molasses 

Im coming in and out of focus 

Like a magic pair of glasses 

I go down to the staff room at lunchtime 

Im like a joke but theres never a punch line 

And if you step on my toes Ill blow up just like a landmine 

Give me a reason Ill be 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Nobody but my money and me 

Is this your definition of fun 

Im bored its only twenty past three (You should go for a swim) 

Ill still be clinging to the company line 

Theres sharks out there I think I saw a fin 

Or maybe Im just losing my mind 

Somebody take a memo 

Were all on automatic 

When I get it back together 

Were gonna need a little static 

Somebody check my pulse 

Slap me in the face 

Show me what Im made of 

Get me out of this place 

Its like a weird technological dream 

Watching buddies turn into machines 

We never get our hands dirty 

But paradise is never this clean 

Come on 

Lying on a beach in the sun 

Dont want to get burned to a crisp 

You want something to remember me by 

You can save it on a floppy disk 

So long 

Farewell 

You can kiss my ass goodbye 

If I dont jump ship right now 

Ill never figure out how to fly
