beat the clock

Sparks

I was born a little premature
Mom just couldn t take no more
Had no time to learn to cry
Goodbye, Mama, got to fly
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Entered school when I was two
PhD d that afternoon
Never entered any sports
Didn t look too good in shorts
Got divorced when I was four

I ve seen everything there is
I ve done everything there is
I ve met everyone but Liz
Now I ve even met ol Liz
No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay, let er rip
You gotta beat the clock, beat the clock
Beat the clock, beat the clock

I did lots of travelling
Parts of me unraveling
The Army then rejected me
Said I had two flat feet
Wore them out when I was three

Too bad there ain t ten of you
Then I d show you what I d do
I could cheat on five of you
And be faithful to you too
But there s only one of you

I ve seen everything there is
I ve done everything there is
I ve met everyone but Liz
Now I ve even met ol Liz
No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay, let er rip
You gotta beat the clock, beat the clock
Beat the clock, beat the clock
