Busy man, draggin’ that weight around
Ball and chain one heavy load
Break your back then you’re laid out cold laid out cold
Up the ladder, nobody’s holdin’ on
Chase the rabbit in a spinin’ wheel
Fall out dizzy no more time to steal time to steal
Where you runnin’ busy man
Better turn around while you still can
Simon Peter shakes your hand
How’s it lookin’ now from where you stand
All that green, what does it buy ya now
Vapor trail just wave good-bye
Was it real liv-ing in the eye in the eye
Is the kid, walkin’ that narrow line
Hold my hand let me beg of you
Not right now if you only knew only knew
Where you runnin’ busy man
Better turn around while you still can
Simon Peter shakes your hand
How’s it lookin’ now from where you stand
Busy man, draggin’ that weight around
Ball and chain one heavy load
Break your back then you’re laid out cold laid out cold
