    Story Behind the Song
    music composed in 1997, the lyrics finished and the song recorded in late 1998 in the lab.

    Lyrics
    put first things first: we don't have that long
    so go make your mark and i'll make my song
    and sing it in time
    i'll sing it in time

    you blink an eye something or someone's died
    just yesterday sammy sosa died
    i read it in time
    i read it in time

    so get your business done while you have the chance
    get up and dance, get up and dance
    cause this tune is short, a year is short
    a life is not that long

    don't be afraid, party like king kong
    go make your mess and i'll make my song
    mighty joe young
    mighty joe young

    so get your business done while you have the chance
    get up and dance while you still can dance
    'cause this tune is short, a year is short
    a life is not that long

    i had a girl who dumped me cold said it was just our time
    she turned her pages at the sound of the chime
    the only words i want to say to her are four letters long
    and not the four letters in "time"

    so i write a song for bass and drums and two untuned guitars
    but it's not enough to comfort me out here among the stars
    so i write a song for bass and drums and two untuned guitars
    but it's not enough to win her back out here among the stars
    i hear a tick tick tock from the cuckoo clock
    will we make it home in time?
    i hear a tick tick tock from the cuckoo clock
    we'll never make it home in time.
