Written by Elton John and Caleb Quaye I'm just sitting doing nothing Wondering where I should go People tell me I'm just lazy Weather or not it's true I don't know So I'm just sitting doing nothing Wondering where I should go Many people that I've encountered Say they wish that they were free And I know that secretly All those people would really like to be me So even though they tell me I'm idle Why should I do what they say For they're in the same place all the time But I'm only there for a day So I'm just sitting doing nothing
