Phases and stages, circles and cycles
And scenes that we've all seen before
Let me tell you some more
People are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last for much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior
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
