Free Time — текст песни (Michael Penn)

I won`t ever get used to this
A blank spot
temptations
do resist.
The other shoe will drop
just an aftershock
Nice hat; you look like a referee
Nice watch; but why are you timing me?
Its spring has come unwound
I was not out of bounds
This is not out
I drew that line
when I was handed free time.

Bells clang
I guess it`s a holiday
Did that rhyme?
Shit! I`m a poet now.
So give me stuff for free
and if I do somehow
into the soft whites
of beautiful lies
stare down
stare
I don`t apologize
I`ve never been the kind
to close an open mind
so leave behind all that extra free time.

Picked a lock and hopped some fences
that won`t do
Burning these = a bad example
finding out = a Roman candle

If I`m pale, it doesn`t mean something`s wrong
If I`m blue, I just held my breath too long
So if you wouldn`t mind
just do the deal and I`ll be real sublime
when I get all your free time.
