I gotta go
Or I’m gonna be late

I’m never ever on time
I show up after nine
I’m not the guy to get it right

Because
I’m moving back and forth when I’m at home
A little closer, farther from the front door
I gotta try a little harder not to ignore
the clock
It’s a shock
when I gawk
at my watch like —

Punctual
How do you spell that?
Functional
I wouldn’t say that
Animals
Can be bound to a clock

I wish time
were a little more elastic
Bendy piece of plastic
Stre- stretch it out
Can’t find my keys or my mask
did they land in the trash?
I gotta go

I’ll never be – on time
Be belated for the workday
Never get it right
Only early for my birthday

In 88 I was premature
Now everyday I make ‘em all wait for sure
but

I met a lady who was never late
I kissed a man with a plan that he wouldn’t break
I took a jet to Japan and I could not believe my eyes
All the trains ran on time

Now I’m
Searching for a screen in the darkness
Lurching towards a thing cold and heartless
Taking up my time every time we touch
The ticking of the clock don’t sound like much

Kocho sensei, yurushite chodai
Boku naraba, no I’ll never get it right

I’ve tried 100,000 times
Those hands they never treat me right
The clock hangs heavy in my mind
But I won’t change my fate tonight

If I run a little faster
push a little harder
I can make this right
I can take no time
I can break my rhyme

I’ll
ditch the Lord
make a deal with Chronos
Gimme a minute at the moment
when I need it most
What you want I’ll sacrifice
Stop the clock and turn the sun to ice

Oh my God! I’m not gonna make it!

I’ve tried 100,000 times
Those hands they never treat me right
The clock hangs heavy in my mind
But I won’t change my fate tonight

(Listen up)

I will not be in time
Not one chance in my life
Oh my God, apologize
but I won’t get it right

I will not be in time
Not one chance in my life
Oh my God, apologize
but I won’t get it right

When I die, wasting time at my funeral
Late to the gate pray to angel Gabriel
Petey sweetie, let me inside
Heaven knows — I’ll never get it right
