A biological weapon gets under your skin, akin to a bomb going off
inside your stomach, but with a little luck you'll be out dancing again.
But in the meantime your brain goes off-line. You're fine or rather you will be.
But all this fighting inside your blood ain't good, while you try to stay healthy.
And it don't really fit with your plans.
You're running out of time on your hands.
How do you work this shit out and still find time to do the things you feel good about?
How can I find time to sing, when all my time is taken up by every other little thing, well...
when all I want to do is play?
I guess I'll just have to find some time one of these days.
Maybe I'll get a chance to practice when I get on stage.
Work calls you in to come when you get off work, that is your other work.
And you do come, committed not to complain about getting paid.
By being poor you signed up for doing a little more, for sure.
But these two jobs ain't what you do for you, unless you count buying food.
You might have to change your plans;
you're running out of time on your hands.
How do you work this shit out and still find time to do the things you feel good about?
How can I find time to sing, when all my time is taken up by every other little thing, well...
when all I want to do is play?
I guess I'll just have to find some time one of these days.
Maybe I'll get a chance to practice when I get on stage.
And now your car's been debarred from the road. You've been told to find a new ride.
In a massive manic panic, rabid you're rapidly texting your friends to get by.
Realizing you're beneath the wheel, you feel you got a raw deal.
Well, are you getting it done? It's no fun, but are you getting it done?
You know what, to hell with your plans.
You're gonna have to make your own time on your hands.
How do you work this shit out and still find time to do the things you feel good about?
How can I find time to think, when all I want to do is sit down and have a drink, well...
when all I want to do is play?
I guess I'll just have to find some time one of these days.
Maybe I'll get more deeply invested when I get on stage.
