[Verse 1]
I don't catch your drift and I don't catch your bait
Need to get my thoughts down but it's getting late
Need to get up now, get my feet on the ground
But the show is so unprepared now
My place so messed up, I tried on some shoes
Should think clear and focus but I've things to do
Glancing at my CD rack, eyes linger on Frank
And I must put that check in the bank
[Chorus]
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
(All the time is all you got)
Tempts me to look
Always got something to do, someone to be seeing
Somewhere to be dancing, I'm a weak human being
It's an opportunity, shout till you go blue
Unless I wanna do it, your words go through
Need to buy some cigarettes, can't put it off any longer
Work don't appeal, depression I feel it growing stronger
Maybe when I'm all grown up, I will get it through
But right now I got stuff to do
[Chorus]
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
(All the time is all you got)
Tempts me to look
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
(All the time is all you got)
Tempts me to look
Gotta get this song down before I leave tonight
But my hair, just does it's own thing and I gotta look alright
And I gotta write a chorus but words allude me now
I have to get this down before I leave somehow
And anyway I be thinkin' to meet you at the station
Guilty 'cause I should be home, damn procrastination
So when they ask me later, I won't tell them how it's going
But now my head is empty and the work load keeps on growing
[Chorus]
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
(All the time is all you got)
Tempts me to look
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
(All the time is all you got)
Tempts me to look
I don't catch your drift and I don't catch your bait
Need to get my thoughts down but it's getting late
Need to get up now, get my feet on the ground
But the show is so unprepared now
My place so messed up, I tried on some shoes
Should think clear and focus but I've things to do
Glancing at my CD rack, eyes linger on Frank
And I must put that check in the bank
[Chorus]
Try to put me in a room, distraction less
(Anything and everything)
Spare me from work
In the studio I will find a book
