In just a few more minutes
The clock will read at nine
The time will soon be over
For this depression of mine

If it is something, I must have
Then I'll treat it with respect
And treat it like a friend of mine
And say Oh what the heck

Come into my being
But on my terms it will be
You only have a certain time
And this is what you'll see

I've set the timer on my stove
To give you sixty minutes
And entertain you for this time
With everything that's in it

You can't come hear till eight o'clock
Cause that would be too early
So we both will worry the time away
But you must leave at nine today
