Slow Down Time - I Want to Get Off

(Abigayle - 1985)   

 

                       Tomorrow is promised - today almost gone....

                                      and what did I do yesterday?

              The motion unending - the pressure descending...

                                      no time to get out of the way.

 

                        For too long, I=ve lost it - I=ve let it slip by.

                                      It seems that my life isn=t mine.

              Though Lord knows I=ve tried - my plans always died....

                                      and still I=m just hoping to find,

 

                       Some time all alone - with nothing to do;

                                      just me and my innermost thoughts.

              The carousel turning...the speed simply burning....

                                     SLOW DOWN TIME - I WANT TO GET OFF!
