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.
Fool, always jumping, never happy where you land
Fool got no business, take your living where you can
Hurry down the highway
Hurry down the road
Hurry past, people staring
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Never got your ticket but you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Gonna get you're ticket but you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Put it in your pocket but you never can tell
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Shake that rattle gonna leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Fight your battle but you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
You never got a minute! No you never got a minute!
No you never know on no matter!
Fool, got no business hanging round and tellin' lies
Fool, you got no reason but you got no compromise
Stamping on the ceiling
Hammering on the walls
Gotta get out! Gotta get out! gotta get-
Oh you know I'm going crazy
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Gotta get ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Gonna head on ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
You're running in the red but you never can tell
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Gotta get rich, gotta leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
But you can't take it with you, when you leave on time
Leave on time! Leave on time!
Gotta keep yourself alive but you leave on time
But you leave on time, leave on time, dead on time
You're dead!
