Phases and stages
Circles and cycles
And scenes that we've all seen before
Let me tell you some more
People are sayin' that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last too much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour
And little they know that the beat oughta go just a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
Well, I'm wild, and I'm mean, and I'm creatin' a scene, I'm goin' crazy
Well I'm good, and I'm bad, and I'm happy, and I'm sad, and I'm lazy
I'm quiet, and I'm loud, and I'm gatherin' a crowd, and I like gravy
About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
Phases and stages
Circles and cycles
And scenes that we've all seen before
Let me tell you some more
