Them — Time Out for Time In

Time out Takin' a break while you wait by the phone Time out Something inside you denied you have known Turns in your mind 'till you find you can No longer care or pretend Time out for time in A voice on the radio's telling the news So you switch to the music you're wanting to hear You're reading the book that's expressing the views All of your problems are clear A friend that drops by says she understands why "The solution is clear," she will say Neithеr you nor she really wants to see How is your weathеr today Time out You're taking a trip between nowhere and lost Time out Your beautiful people are losing their gloss You've not paid your bills Your electricity's off What do you do with yourself Where do you begin? Time out for time in You sit with a cigarette held in each hand You've just lit a filter on one You know you're not doing as much as you can You've finished before you've begun You feel you could cry but can't understand why You scream at the walls all around You feel that you're trapped and you have to get out Admitting life's broken you down Time out You've gone in a circle and now you're alone Time out Something inside of you denied now has grown Turns in your mind 'till you find you can No longer care or pretend Time out for time in
