Stand In One Place Too Long

I picked a bad time, baby, for good thinkin'
For rhymin' and rhythm and sinking down
I got triggered from standin' in a low ceiling shop
Listening to an old man talk
Singing me some ivory blue song
I was glazing over, legs-a-crossing
My head a banging gong
I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long
I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long
I heard a wise man speak one time, make a fuss about sin and such
While failing to mention the long-winded
With a story that rattles on and on far too long
Then gets the punchline wrong
Like a sermon all talk no walk
I was glazing over, legs-a-crossing
My head a banging gong
I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long
I could never no, never no, never no, never stand in one place too long
