Lyrics

Bad Time

Thought to call me up that one time
Thought that I heard gunfire
I stepped outside
Left a message saying, "Hi"
I answered from a firefight
Told you it's a bad time
But I can talk
I really want to talk to you
I'm being stalked
By killer robots and I'm pretty sure they're bulletproof
It's a bad time
I thought to call you up so many times
I heard gunfire in the dead of the night
Left a message saying, "Hi"
I answered from a drive-by
Told you it's a bad time
But I can talk
No, I really want to talk to you
I'm being stalked
By Latin royalty and me and Bobby just ate shrooms
It's a bad time
And you're the only one that I can tell
That I can talk to
I should be under your spell right now
Your spell right now
The way you move, it moves me
With no place left to go
And your sweet voice leaves me speechless
Like you will never know
I really want to talk to you
Oh, I really want to talk to you
I really want to talk
I really want to talk to you
I really want to talk
I really want to talk to you
And you're the only one that I can tell
That I can talk to
I should be under your spell right now
Your spell right now
The way you move, it moves me
With no place left to go
Your sweet voice leaves me speechless
Like you will never know
I really want to talk to you
