( Time song lyrics )
UNDER A ROCK
Copyright © 2004 - mickterry.com

6/8
1: Please, pardon my ignorance: I've been studying bliss
in a cave in the highlands. So, I'm new to all this.
It seems I've been sleeping for a few hundred years.
Don't know where time has gone, where it's all disappeared.

2: My beard's a bit tangled, now it's two feet or more.
And my clothes are outdated, a bit tattered and worn.
So do me a favor, if you would be so kind:
help me fill in the gaps where I've been left behind.

CHORUS:
I've been under a rock. I've been deep in a coma.
I've been chained behind locks. I've been whaling with Jonah.
I wasn't born yesterday, but I'd might as well been
for all the news that I've missed, all the things I've not seen.

3: There're some things that have me somewhat lost & confused
when I turn on the T.V. or read Daily News.
Things happen so quickly, I am sketchy at best.
"Living under a rock?" Well, the answer is ... "yes".
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:   (spoken)
The Michael Jackson molestation case?
Who molested him?
O.J. didn't do what?
Who is Oshama Bin Lately?
So, Rock Hudson is happy?
They have telephones the size of a single cell?
George Bush is still President?

CHORUS:

CODA:   (spoken)
Does Napster help people sleep better?
Rodney is King of what country?
Why was Saddam Hussein captured?
Karen Carpenter has put on a few pounds?
Calista who?
Have Americans become total idolaters?
So, who is this Bennifer?
Rip Van Winkle sure has nothing on me.

To other time song lyrics:   PATIENCE
TURNING OLD
THE OTHER WAY
FILLING THE TUB
DRIVE THIS SLOW
LIFE'S TOO SHORT
EXCUSES, EXCUSES
PEOPLETHINKIMHORNY
LATE FOR HIS OWN LIFE
WHY WAIT? PROCRASTINATE
WHEELCHAIR IN SAN FRANCISCO
DOES SHE KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING?
To the TOP
