Lazy Night
Dieter Meier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking through another crazy lazy afternoon
Knocking down the driest Dry Martini much too soon
Behind the clouds the sun is out of sight
In my eyes still much too bright

What the hell am I doing here
Is this planet made for me
Barman, can I get another beer
Maybe later I will be able to see

I am senseless useless wasting my time
I am senseless useless but I am feeling fine
I am senseless useless running away
I am senseless useless got nothing to say

Walking through another crazy crazy night
Knocking down the driest Dry Martini much too soon
Behind the clouds the moon is out of sight
What a waste, what a waste of an afternoon

What the hell am I doing here
Is this planet made for me
Barman, can I get another beer
Maybe later I will be able to see

I am senseless useless wasting my time
I am senseless useless but I am feeling fine




I am senseless useless running away
I am senseless useless got nothing to say
