Time Out For Time In

(álbum: Time Out! Time In For Them - 1968)

Time out
Taking a break while you wait by the phone
Time out
Something inside you denied you have known
Turns in your mind 'till you find you can
No longer care or pretend
Time out for time in

A voice on the radio's telling the news
So you switch to the music you're wanting to hear
You're reading the book that's expressing the views
All of your problems are clear

A friend that drops by says she understands why
"The solution is clear," she will say
Neither you nor she really wants to see
How is your weather today

Time out
You're taking a trip between nowhere and lost
Time out
Your beautiful people are losing their gloss
You've not paid your bills
Your electricity's off
What do you do with yourself
Where do you begin?
Time out for time in

You sit with a cigarette held in each hand
You've just lit a filter on one
You know you're not doing as much as you can
You've finished before you've begun

You feel you could cry but can't understand why
You scream at the walls all around
You feel that you're trapped and you have to get out
Admitting life's broken you down

Time out
You've gone in a circle and now you're alone
Time out
Something inside of you denied now has grown
Turns in your mind 'till you find you can
No longer care or pretend
Time out for time in
