Things You Don't Have To Do Lyrics - New York City - Norah Jones

I walk down the diamond studded concrete canyon 

Nobody looked me in the eye 

Tried to fly to the moon 

Only made it to the sky 

I was looking, looking for 

I couldn't find a friend 

Searching for a clear connection 

Without a digital send 

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes 

To find the lies that you know to be true 

I'll find you smiling about 

Things you don't have to do

Bill doesn't call me anymore 

I hear he's found religion 

Big haired blonde apprentice beautician 

And all the words and gesticulations that came before 

Don't seem to mean a thing 

You can feel fine to drop a dime 

If you're ever hanging by a string 

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes 

To find the lies that you know to be true 

I'll find you smiling about 

Things you don't have to do 

I hear voices crying out 

Echoes on the boulevard 

Contentious rambling incantations 

Of some senile bard 

There's too much going on around here 

To keep my head from spinning 

And this constant acceleration 

Blurs any ties to the beginning 

Photos 

Ain't it just a little scary sometimes 

To find the lies that you know to be true 

I'll find you smiling about 

Things you don't have to do
