Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm like a beggar with no luck
I'm holdin' signs up on your street corner stops
Like most you try not to see me
You stare straight ahead, ignore the responsibility
[Verse 2]
Excuse me (Excuse me mister)
Well I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I'm very anxious, eager, willin'
What's your billin'?
(Anxious, eager, willin')
[Verse 3]
So please excuse me mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me mister
I've known you too long
All I need is a little of your time
[Verse 4]
For most, love comes for free
They don't pay the high cost of mental custody
I'll pay bail for a guarantee
Make space for me in my time yet to be
[Verse 5]
Excuse me (Excuse me mister)
Well I've been waiting in line
And I'd like to buy some of your time
I've been savin' up my life
What's your price?
(Savin' up my life)
[Verse 6]
So please excuse me mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me mister
I've known you for too long boy
All I need is a little of your time
[Verse 7]
What should I do?
I'm about to crack
And there's a force that comes over me
It's almost as if I'm tied to the tracks
I'm waitin' for him to rescue me
The funny thing is he's not going to come
He's not going to find me
This is a matter of fact
The desire you lack
This is the way I guess it has to be
[Verse 8]
A little of your time
I need a little of your time
Please, a little of your time (Yeah)
[Verse 9]
So please excuse me mister
You've got things all wrong
You make it feel like a crime
So don't confuse me mister
I've known you for too long boy
All I need is a little of your time
[Verse 10]
I'm in line to buy time
I'm in line to buy time
I'm in line to
I'm in line to, excuse me
Well I've been waiting in line
Excuse me
Excuse me mister
