Need a Little Time
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.
I don't know a lot about you but
You seem to know a lot about me so
I take a little time out, I take a little time out
I'm sorry that I lost my patience
You deserve better it's true
I need a little time out
I need a little time out
From me
And you
Open up your insides show us
Your inner most lecherous
I'll rip it out carefully
I promise you won't feel a thing
Everybody wants to have their say
Forever waiting for some car crash
I need a little time out
I need a little time out
From me
And you
Shave your head to see how it feels
Emotionally it's not that different
But to the hand it's beautiful
(Yeah to the hand it's beautiful)
You seem to have the weight of the world
Upon your bony shoulders well hold on
You need a little time out
You need a little time out
From you
And me
