=================================
Being Out Of Time

I’m a being out of time
Never wanted to fit in
I’m a being out of time
Precious few, are welcome in
I’m the being out of time
Here to clue you all in
I’m the being out of time
This one’s short so let’s begin

[Part 1]
Sixty one, well I know the score
Not much time ‘til I head out the door
My show heads to its final encore
It’s like being out of time, nothing more

I’ve witnessed some marginal success
And felt substantial stings of pain
And yes I must also confess
To throwing opportunity down the fucking drain

I capture things into a streamable story
Cuz memory is often transitory
The failures and yes, some of the glory
A being out of time as an allegory

[Part 2]
Observing the world from inland to shore
All seem plastic, easy to ignore
No point seeking out their rapport
It’s like being out of time, nothing more

Catching news from all available sources
Watch attempts to dream up solutions
Despite the precisely designed forces
They succumb to their cultural delusions

Lying when I say I still have hope
Fuck me it’s easy as a misanthrope
I administer my medically approved dope
A being out of time with a digital zoetrope

[Part 3]
Venting anger by giving what for
In sights and sounds designed to explore
I sometimes miss the beat if it ain’t 4/4
It’s like being out of time, nothing more

Nail the words down, then find the beat
Once complete, then on to the movie
They can’t absorb without moving their feet
While looking at shit that’s oh so fucking groovy

Honestly, I was never a great musician
Emerging from working class tradition
But I’m unafraid to make this admission
A being out of time on a fucking mission

I’m a being out of time
Never wanted to fit in
I’m a being out of time
Precious few, are welcome in
I’m the being out of time
Here to do you all in
I’m the being out of time
My patience…wearing thin

He’s a being…out of time (Repeat 4 times through fade)
