[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Time - He's waiting in the wings

He speaks of senseless things

His script is you and me, Boy

Time - He flexes like a whore

Falls wanking to the floor

His trick is you and me, Boy

[Verse 2]

Time - In Quaaludes and red wine

Demanding Billy Dolls

And other friends of mine

Take your time

The sniper in the brain

Regurgitating drain

Incestuous and vain

And many other last names

Well, I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think

"Oh God! I'm still alive."

[Chorus]

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

[Bridge]

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

[Verse 3]

You - Are not a victim

You - Just scream with boredom!

You - Are not evicting time...

[Bowie breathing heavily]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old

You'll freeze and catch a cold

'Cause you've left your coat behind

Take your time

Breaking up is hard

But keeping dark is hateful

I had so many dreams

I had so many breakthroughs

But you, my love, were kind

But love has left you dreamless

The door to dreams was closed

Your park was real and greenless

Perhaps you're smiling now

Smiling through this darkness

But all I have to give

Is guilt for dreaming

[Chorus]

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

[Outro]

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, yes, time!
