lyrics

Hang on a moment now and hear what I say
That showdown can wait
And if you must jump in the river
Tomorrow's not too late

I simply want to share with you just how I arrived
At where I am today:
Well, when problems came to a head;
When I reached crossroads, or a watershed …

I immediately did nothing, I did nothing at all
Just try it and you'll see that I'm right
There's nothing better than nothing – sweet, sweet nothing
It could take weeks, even years
But the need to decide disappears

Let's get a little closer now, relax for a while
The night's all our own
And we could make it something special
If you turned off that damn phone

I know that you like dancing, going out on the town
But that's not my style
If you want me to show you a good time
Well honey, let's get plain immobile

Yeah darling let's do nothing, let's do some nothing
It's an endless source of delight
There's nothing better than nothing – or almost nothing
Forget about doing your hair
And never mind what you can wear

'Cause nothing suits you more than nothing, just nothing
at all
When I've got sore eyes, it's a sight
Yes I believe in nothing, absolutely nothing
Don't tell me I'm wasting my time
Tell me: what made the Buddha sublime?

Well he sat down and he did nothing, he did nothing at all
And he kept right on till he saw the light
There's nothing better than nothing, sweet sweet nothing
So let's do sweet nothing tonight
I can't get enough of nothing, oh nothing's really something
Don't tell me it's wrong, 'cause it's right
There's nothing better than nothing – sweet sweet nothing
So let's just do nothing tonight
