Trying to Steal a Minute

HEY, MR. DESK CLERK JUST GIVE ME MY KEYS

I DON’T WANT NO CONVERSATION

WE DON’T HAVE NO SITUATION

THE BELLMAN GO ON SLEEPING

BLACK CAT KEEP ON CREEPING

TRYING TO STEAL A MINUTE

FROM A STINGY HANDS OF TIME

AND I’M TRYIN TO GET TO HEAVEN

BEFORE THEY HANG OUT THE CLOSIN SIGN

WORLD BLOWN PAST ME

AND WHAT HAVE I GOT TO SHOW

I’M JUST TRYIN TO STEAL A MINUTE

BEFORE IT’S TIME TO GO

I WALK UP THE STAIRWELL

AND UNLOCK MY DOOR

BABY LEFT ME A MESSAGE

SHE DON’T WANT ME ‘ROUND NO MORE

LOOK OUT THROUGH THE RAIN DROPS

LOOKIN STRAIGHT TO THE END OF TIME

TRYIN TO STEAL A MINUTE

FROM THE STINGY HAND OF TIME

TRYIN TO PULL A DROWNED MAN

OUT INTO THE SUNSHINE

STRANGER ON THE HIGHWAY

WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

I’M TRYIN TO STEAL A MINUTE BEFORE IT’S TIME TO GO
