Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a Mickey in the tastin' of disaster
In time (In time), you get faster
Harry Hippie is a waste as if he has to
Procrastinatin'
Somethin' movin' in the brain of a doer
In time (In time), feel a little newer
I switched from to Coke to Pep and I'm a connoisseur
Mm-hmm ('Bout time)
[Verse 2]
'Cause there's a method in the madness of the thinkin'
In time (In time), oh, we oughta
It seems the best of all the sadness is sinkin'
In time (In time), muddy water
And there's a wreck yard in the mind of a quitter
In time (In time), gonna get better
[Verse 3]
He don't give a heck or is he blind and makin' litter?
In time ('Bout time), gonna need a babysitter
I felt so good, I told the leader how to follow
In time (In time), get down
So glad I could not feel, indeed, so very hollow
No need to follow
Insecurities attractin' every flirter
In time (In time), yeah, it's murder
If you don't mind, please, why give slack to a deserter?
('Bout time)
[Verse 4]
Oh, day light is all I see
Ah, stay light and wait for me
See you tomorrow, noon
(Miss me, I'll see ya soon)
[Verse 5]
I told you it's not the teachin', it's the learnin'
In time (In time), don't need no burnin'
When I mold you to start reachin' in the morning
In time
Well, well, there's a feelin', oh, so real in every human
On time ('Bout time)
There's a reelin' when you don't know what you're doin'
In time ('Bout time)
[Verse 6]
Stay around and get a show
Hey (In time)
Don't ya know
Two years, too long to wait
Two words, get it straight
(In time)
See an answer, in time (In time)
And that ain't nothing, I'm a dancer
[Verse 7]
Two years, too long to wait
Oh, two words (I'll get it straight)
(Two years, too long to wait)
(Two words, I'll get it straight)
(Two years, too long to wait)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Two words) I'll get it straight
In time, in time
(Two years, too long to wait)
(Two words, I'll get it straight)
