Lyrics:

I picked up my ticket just the other day
Didn’t have much money, but I found a way

They’ll open up the doors for you
Sometimes when you don’t want them to
Ah, but you’ll go in
But you’ll go in.

Found my seat was empty, right next to the man
Who’d been sitting there since time began
Talkin’ to himself between the thoughts come to him since then
And that’s when he went in
That’s when he went in

I miss the feelings that I get
When I had the time to sit and just do nothing
Just do nothing
Do nothing
Just do nothing

I miss the feelings that I get
When I had the time to sit and just do nothing
Just do nothing.
