JIM'S BIG EGO: unpop for the unpopulous!

I've got time to think about the beauty
Of a thousand variations
Of the beating of a wing
Of a hummingbird suspended
In the aspic of the world
Moving slower than molasses
As I’m off to catch the girl
Who is falling off the bridge

And I'm there before she knows it
I'll be gone before she sees me
Got my hand around her waist
I pull her back to safety
By the time she knows whats happened
There’ll be someone else who needs me
Because time keeps dragging on
And on
And on
And on

Time keeps dragging on
Time keeps dragging on

I've got time to think about my past
As I dodge between the bullets
How my life was so exciting
Before I got this way
And how long ago it was
Now I never can explain
By the clock that’s on the tower
Or the one that’s in my brain

And I'm there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
And I’d like to get to know you
But you're talking much too slowly
And I know you want to thank me
But I never stick around
Because time keeps dragging on
And on
And on

And you say that time goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
And you see a blur around you fly
But it takes too long
It seems so slow to me

And time keeps dragging on

I wish I'd never gone into my lab
To experiment that night
Before lightning flashed around me
And time changed speed
Now I have to try to be so patient
Till calamity will strike
Because when things change in an instant
It’s almost fast enough for me

And I'll be there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
And do you think you can imagine
Anything so lonely
And I know you’d really like me
But I never stick around
Because time keeps dragging on
And on
And on
And on
And on

And you say that time
Goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
And you see a blur around you fly
But it takes so long
It seems so slow

And you say that time
Goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
And complain I’m gone
Before you blink your eye
But it takes so long
It seems so slow

And you say that time
Goes rushing by
But it seems so slow to me
And I want to be there while you laugh or cry
But it takes too long
It seems so slow to me

And time keeps dragging on
And time keeps dragging on
Dragging on

And on
And on
