Racing Against Time

(Terry Bozzio & Warren Cuccurullo)

Plotting-planning-preaching-panning

Causing diversion for the pass under the table

Who to know-what to show-where to go-when to blow

Be wise to sleep with one eye open if you’re able

Running in-running out-running over-you're in doubt

Running on a line in a circle 'neath a net

Getting upset-wanting to forget-everything's a threat

Feeling something wet, who said it’s no sweat

Racing against time-it's all I do

Racing against time-I don’t like to

Racing against time-it's all I do

Racing against time-I don’t like to

The clock keeps ticking-pieces of my life go slipping by

I’m pushing forward-moving backward-and I don’t know why

The pressure’s building-pressure's making it impossible

Before you know it it’s completely uncontrollable

Wheeling-dealing-stealing-squealing

Does this kind of life look interesting to you

Modify-amplify-simplify-intensify

It could be quite confusing just to watch me do what I do

It’s like I’m living in a situation comedy

They’ve got me socializing with these absent entities

Even when I’m reasoning in slow decaying orbits

Public opinion isn’t fast enough to grasp it
