Time Operator
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.
Moon breathin' in thru' my window
Curtains are sighing dust of the day
Still I'm not alone like all my neighbours say
Chorus:
Time Operator
Take the time to take the time
To come over here
We got so much in common
Seems it's hard for us to sleep
With all the razzle dazzle in the street
The man come to shut off my water
The man come to shut down my water
The man come to shut down my lights yesterday
I'm not one to moan
I made the bill for the telephone
Now I wouldn't care if you're ugly
'Cos here with the lights out I couldn't see
Just picture Paul Newman
He looks a lot like me
Chorus:
Time Operator
Take the time to take the time
to come over here
We got so much in common
Seems it's hard for us to sleep
With all the razzle dazzle in the street
