The Jazz Butcher – Time

My hair’s all wrong. My time ain’t long.
Fishy go to heaven, get along, get along.

I’m having too much fun to get anything done.
Leave me be. I’m not hurting anyone.
I took a long weekend in the psychedelic shack
And when you cross that bridge you ain’t never coming back.
I‘ve got scars and stripes and burns,
I‘ve got the law of diminishing returns.
I‘ve got a one-way ticket to a pit of Council lime
I’ve barely got a minute till I’m in it
But for you I’ve got time.
A little bit of time.

Luminous. Leguminous. Salubrious. Lugubrious.

Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
You don’t need me to tell you what it’s all about.
Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
Oh, baby!

A small boy who just watched his cousin being shot
Is being pushed down a mine coz we’ve got to have the lithium.
Forced labour, privatised jails.
Yeah – and all that that entails.
Tik tok. Never mind. You’re gonna live forever.
Yeah – in a razor wire dormitory,
Working on the long shift, doing what you’re told to,
Doing what you’re told to, 
Doing what we used to call time.
(It’s murder.)

Respectable. Bespectacled. Electable. Detestable.

Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
You don’t need me to tell you what it’s all about.
Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
Oh, baby!

I’ve overdone the underside and now I am undone.
There’s no one here to see, though, cos I don’t see anyone.
And if I hadn’t told you that, you never would have known,
Unless I told you secretly when we were all alone.
Things are running slow. Things are running low.
You can have one more but then we gotta go.
One more before the bottle. One more before the mast.
One more shot for Davy Jones, better make it fast.

Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
You don’t need me to tell you what it’s all about.
Time’s running out. The money’s running out.
Oh, baby!

A Boy From Penny Arcade (words by Y.Satori, music by Y.Satori & M.Ishida) (1985)

There once was a bright-eyed boy from the penny arcade
He left sometime ago before the stories were made
But on a winter day like this, are we loud enough?
To hear him calling from steps above

O we can melt the ice inside your heart
Leave you drowning and close our gates
But can we laugh it away, when it’s over?
And send him back to endless curtain calls

There once was a bright-eyed boy from the penny arcade
He left sometime ago before the stories were made
But on a rainy day like this, are we loud enough?
To hear him calling from far above

There’s always something special at the penny arcade
So say bye-bye to yourself and your humdrum days
There’s always someone special at the penny arcade
he’ll love you back as long as you won’t turn your back

O wil-o-the-wisp, he’s calling you
Make you wish I’ll let it come true
Out of your torpid mind, we’re going down
In between the sleepless days
make your wish, your wish of love
Inside your torpid mind, we’re going down

I’m in a daze of narrow maze
If I lost my ways, I can’t blame on you
I’m quite surprised to meet his eyes so bright like a boy
Penny Arcade Show
Won't you wave bye-bye to long lost Penny Arcade Show
