The Lyrics

Chess is boring.
It was a little too dull
Could've used some cheap thrills
While sitting in the hills
They were quiet and thinking and still as trees
And hours in counting were about two or three
Well up to two or three

Out past the suburbs where the air's not sick
Out in the fields that some call the thick
Workin' on strategies while all others snooze
Workin' on their chess moves
Tryin' to see a smart game plan go through
Workin' on their chess moves
For the longest time
For a great long time

It wasn't much fun, oh no, far from it
I wasn't sittin' for some boring chess game summit
I was just lookin' to pass time with thrills
Visitin' the hills
And I'll sneak away but they'd glare an jeer
To the city, to the park, anywhere but here
I snoozed then, I'll snooze more
Just be glad I don't snore
They're thinking some more
Workin' on their chess moves
Tryin' to stay awake 'till someone moves
Workin' on their chess moves
And it was a long, long time.

And oh the silence
It felt like forever
And I almost turned to vi'lence
Almost turned to vi'lence

I awoke at night to the same boring game
How long I have sat, it's so lame
Started counting the grass to keep myself awake
Ain't it weird how we watch chess moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to do
Dull are those chess moves
With midnight closing in

I haven't played chess for a couple of years now. I don't know why but, I used to love it, now I find it too time consuming. 555

You don't horse around. And before anybody else with a dirty mind says it, you give a new meaning to "polishing the bishop."
