In the Time It Takes

In the time it takes to pay my hotel bill

I could lose my mind, walk out the door on the 14th floor

If you’ve been there once, you’ve been there a million times

And a million and one ain’t no time to get it wrong

Do you wake up

At midnight

In the middle of the room

Beating on a door that’s locked?

Well, I do

I do

I do

In the time it takes to sing this song

You could fall in love, jump off the floor into my arms

And you must look deep into my eyes

To see the tiny, evil lies

Do you wake up

In the moonlight

Just howling at the moon?

Do you wonder

In the morning?

Well, I do

I do

I do

A lot of crazy things

[Chorus]

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

In the time it takes

Hey, hey

In the time it takes to smoke one cigarette

You could have one more, just one more for the road

This may be the very last thing you hear

Yeah, but I hope that everybody makes it home

And do you wake up

At the wheel

Heading for the shoulder of the road

Screaming "God, please, save my soul!"

Well, I do

I do

I do

A lot of crazy things

[Chorus]

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

In the time it takes

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

In the time it takes

In the time it takes

In the time it takes
