Time Out

(album: So What - 1974)

Going through the motions
Trying not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Going through my motion

Caught without an oar
Someone said they all were phony

Time out, save the play
Try to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

I met her in the hallway
Banging on the door
Asking what the funny smell was
Wake you up and tell you
It's OK to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you can sell us?

Time out, save the play
Trying to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

So the case is getting hotter
Hear me tell you, Jack
Stick 'em up, you've just been busted
Your basement's full of water
Got above the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted

Time out, save the play
Trying to make the lie last
Any old way we can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
