Once in a while, when I’m running around
I hear the clock ticking, and I don’t like that sound
It usually means that I’m in a rush
And I don’t like being in a rush that much
Everything gets done, and it gets done just fine
Why am I always, on a time line
When things get tough, and I feel taxed
I shut off my brain, and try to relax

I get a bottle of champagne and a seafood platter

Sometimes it feels, like the clock stopped
I wanna make a play, but the ball dropped
I reach for the board but it’s check mate
I talk to my friends, and I can’t relate
Eyes are wide open but I can’t see
Doors are unlocked but I’m not free
When things get tough, and I feel taxed
I shut off my brain, and try to relax (refrain)

Once in while, things are really swell
Everyone can hear me, I don’t have to yell
When I hit the ball, it’s hole in one
When I hit the town, It’s a lot of fun
Do what I want, never get caught
See what I want, and it gets bought
When things are cool, and I feel good
I’ll try to remember, to knock on wood (refrain)
