Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It's like watching a line erased
First your tongue is tied
Then your words collide
Just right when you found your place
[Refrain]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It was a very good line
[Chorus]
I rode my scooter 'round Berlin
I washed away all my sin
I tried to call you on the telephone
And now I gotta do this all alone
[Refrain]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It was a very good line
[Instrumental]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It's like watching a line erased
First your tongue is tied
Then your words collide
Just right when you found your place
[Refrain]
First you run outta time
Then you run outta space
It was a very good line
[Chorus]
They killed it dead at Mason Hall
I hit my head against the wall
We tried to play it on the saxophone
We tried to play it but that shit was blown
[Refrain]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It was a very good line
[Instrumental]
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It's like watching a line erased
First you run out of time
Then you run out of space
It's like watching a line erased
