Time Out

Joe Walsh

Goin' through the motions
Tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Rowin' through the ocean
Caught without an oar
Someone said they all exploded

Time out, save the play
Try to make the line last
Any old way you can
Signed out all the way
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan

The maids are in the hallway
Bangin' on the door
Askin' what the funny smell was
Wake you up and tell you
It's okay to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you could sell us?

So the case is gettin' hotter
Guilty 'til you're tried
Stick 'em up, you've just been busted
Your basement's full of water
Forgot about the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted

Signed out, blown away
When you speak your mind out
Never say what you plan
Time out, save the play
Try to make the mind last
Any old way you can
