Next Time by Little Wings
Next Time lyrics
This is a note to the self situation
A microphone test of a dense dictation�
Last time, they tried to fit me in a funny suit
This time, they tried to fill my pocket full of loot
Next time, they�ll start to weep while I�m bailing
Next time, I�ll have to wade through their wailing
Last time, they had to hang me like a poster
This time, they rode me like a roller coaster
Next time, they�ll have to find me if they wanna try
Next time, they�ll have a long time to wonder why
I always turn my head when they walk by
I make-believe my shoelace came untied
Better yet, act like something�s in my eye
Oh, I gotta do what I don�t want to
High as the hates that hunt and haunt you
Pouring the paint you�re pealing, won�t you
Pull a pal away when he�s reeling, don�t you
Look at last time for one minute
I promise I�ll try
Look at this time, will and when it
With a gleaming in my eye
Look at next time, searching�s granted
Full power from the sky
Look at what the light does when we�re in it
So I wonder why I stop to wonder why
Last time, they spread me shallow like the gravel
This time, they struck me twice like a gavel
�Order in the Court!� What Court is the question
Give no retort, leave everybody guessing
Last time, they bent me over like a rainbow
This time, they stepped through me like a tango
Next time, I�ll abbreviate it so
They won�t lose their breath every time they say it, oh
I�ll keep a song inside their head in bloom
Feed it sweet light, fertilize it with some tunes
If words are the risk, then music�s the perfume
Oh, sung from the mouth of friend or stranger
A dangerous bird or bird of danger
If you can keep up, well, why won�t you
Songs everywhere so I sing it, don�t you
Look at last time for one minute
I promise I�ll try
Look at this time, will and when it
With a gleaming in my eye
Look at the next time, searching�s granted
Full power from the sky
Look at what the light does when we�re in it
Now I wonder why I stop to wonder why
Last time - last time
This time - this time
Next time - next time
I�ll try - I�ll try - I�ll try - I�ll try - I�ll try
