Plotting, planning, preaching, panning
Causing diversion for the pass under the table
Who to know, what to show, where to go, when to blow
Be wise to sleep with one eye open if you're able
Running in, running out, running over, you're in doubt
Running on a line in a circle 'neath a net
Getting upset, wanting to forget, everything's a threat
Feeling something wet, who said it's no sweat
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
The clock keeps ticking, pieces of my life go slipping by
I'm pushing forward, moving backward, and I don't know why
The pressure's building, pressure's making it impossible
Before you know it it's completely uncontrollable
Wheeling, dealing, stealing, squealing
Does this kind of life look interesting to you?
Modify, amplify, simplify, intensify
It could be quite confusing just to watch me do what I do
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
♪
It's like I'm living in a situation comedy
They've got me socializing with these absent entities
Even when I'm reasoning in slow decaying orbits
Public opinion isn't fast enough to grasp it
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
Racing against time, it's all I do
Racing against time, I don't like to
