He wakes up cold at half past nine   Shakes it off and looks for his shoes   Gets to work he's right on time   What else could he do?      Day goes by, it's off to die   Another day another to do   Train back home and steps upstairs   Lies down with the blues      She didn't mean to be so mean   She's just got a lot of living to do   She can't sit back and watch time fly   Waiting for the news      There's shots to take and plans to make   There's candy bars and pizza to chew   There's Monday morning and Friday night   Saturday, Sunday too      Why wait for your rocket   When you can't go?   Time comes, you can't stop it   When you don't know      He calls her up, she's not at home   The message says you know what to do   He says her name and starts to smile   Here's to our rescue      The plane touched down at half past nine   The sun was giving way to the moon   He steps outside she comes and sighs   Everything was new
