Cause time don't wait
(Verse 1 - Tom Scott)
We on a world tour, with my hum and my man
Two dozen in the chilly bin and one in my hand, with no plan
Whole band crammed up in the van, with no fan just fam
Livin' off o' the land like Bear Grylls, sellin' tea like sellin' P
With bare sk**s, turnin' melody to celery then turn that
Into yellow E and LSD, sniffin' like I had a allergy for reality, alright
This another Saturday night, havin' the best time that I ever had
In my life travellin' like light through space leave no trace
Pack the suitcase, get paid, jet next day, and
If he don't pay then we don't play, just pack our sh** and relocate
I ain't got no money but I'll be okay, even though I ain't slept
In three whole days, I say
(Hook)
Time don't wait for no one
So I'm packing my bags
And I, and I, and I'll be gone tomorrow
And I don't know when I'll be back (so long, so long, so long)
See I've got to live my life the way that I want
But you know (you know) that I will (I will)
Miss you when I'm gone, but time don't wait
(Verse 2 - Tom Scott)
So we takin' every night like a Broadway performer
A horse before four but still rockin' like quarter
Still perform full 'til they call for encore
Then give them four more, then cord the mic cord up
It's like, profession, twenty four seven
As soon as the jet gets in we text the sound tech then
Check the mic, check in check out, next second
Livin' like Def Leppard, drinkin' like Led Zeppelin all night!
Horse life, Beanstalk climbing
Fly Buys sky high goodbye North Island I'm leavin'
No time for high horse ridin', and I'm speedin
Cos life's short like Paul Simon, so I'm livin' mine
It's time to hit the dirt road, slap hands with the fans
Singin' in the first row, like chur bro, we out, that's that
Bags packed, blow the gunk out my nose and we gapped
(Hook)
(Verse 3 - Tom Scott)
We go Christchurch, Dunedin, MP, out to PNC
We go Queenstown, for the seasons
Get out to Great Barrier for the weekend
Doin' it for H-Town, and [?]
Mount Taranaki, Mount Vic, and Mount Eden
It's goin' out to every town that we been in
For this place that we all call New Zealand
Time don't wait!
