Time Man Lyrics

Disguised as a bellhop in an elevator at the Holiday Inn
He loves to give the door a stop and graciously invite you in
Glances at his pocketwatch and he'll take any gal down town
Looks at you with a wink of an eye and he asks, going down

Don't mess with the time man don't mess with his plan
Cause he keeps a tight rein on both time and space
Don't mess with the time man cause if you mess with his plan
You'll wake and find yourself another place

Shielding my eyes so I can't see
Time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes
And I'm forgiven so get out of my face

The elevator increases its speed
Dust rains through your mind
Time man points to pictures on the walls of all the places in your past time
Feeling so guilty of your past of things you said and done
You see the time man smile and say
You have no where to run

Don't mess with the time man don't you mess with his plan
Cause he keeps a tight rein on both time and space
Don't mess with the time man cause if you mess with his plan
You'll wake and find yourself another place

Shielding my eyes so I can't see
Time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes
And I'm forgiven so get out of my face

Shielding my eyes so I can't see
Time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes
But I'm forgiven so get out of my face
But I'm forgiven so get out of my face
(one more time)
I'm forgiven so get out of my face
