Time Out
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Another day, another hero
In the ratrace to the top
From a nono to the CEO
He's going fast and it doesn't stop
I need to think while time goes on and on
I have to be the number one
and I just want to lay down in the sun
(aaaaaah) Come on mister Referee
(aaaaaah) It's all going too fast for me
(aaaaaah) I'm on a different frequency
(aaaaaah) And you can kill the enemy
for a while, or I will never catch up
I need a time out
I'm really good and have big ambitions
But I'm not going fast enough
I'm not a man of quick decisions
To stay the course is really tough
I like to play and keep things open
Like always being twenty-one
and I just want to lay down in the sun
(aaaaaah) Come on mister Referee
(aaaaaah) It's all going too fast for me
(aaaaaah) I'm on a different frequency
(aaaaaah) And you can kill the enemy
for a while, or I will never catch up
How will I ever catch up?
I want the time to stop
I need a time out
And how I want to lay down in the sun
I need a time out to chill
I need a time out to think
I need a time out to stand still
I need a time out to drink
I need a time out to relax
I need a time out to remind
I need a time out to go back in time
