Lazy old sun
What have you done to summertime?
Hiding away
Behind all those misty thunder clouds
I don't mind
To spend my time
Looking for you
For you are my one reality
When I'm dead and gone
Your light will shine eternally
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
You make the rainbows and you make the night disappear
You melt the frost so I won't criticize my sun
When I was young
My world was three foot, seven inch tall
When you were young
There was no world at all
Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun

    General Comment:I love this song, as I've felt this way myself. The depressed narrator feels futile and that his existence is meaningless in the scheme of the universe. He seems to be regressing to the state of a child, or at least just into his mind, leaving reality behind. The bendy drooping music captures the confusion of depression very well.

    General Comment:This is a weird song. The lyrics and the music just sound like someone who is completely depressed.
