from Passive Blue (April 5th 1999) (3:24)
Lookin out the window for a day or two with the sun above the roof
Kickin back and waiting for my pager's hum with a vodka 80 proof
Listen to the cars and people passin by as the fan blades go around
Feel my pager buzz against my belt and hip, pick my phone up off the ground
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Talkin to my girl until I hear a knock and I tell her "call you back"
Open up the door and it's my boy Dennis in his beat up Cadillac
Cruisin down the street and never stoppin once on our way to anywhere
Wavin hi to people I don't even know, they wave back if they don't care
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Over to the club after the sun goes down, roll a spliff up at the bar
Buy a couple beers to wash the liquor down, we shoot up for bout an hour
Get back to the house around three A.M., not worried bout no strife
I'm not really sure just what tomorrow brings, man if this ain't the life
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Yeah, goin over to Shane's, gonna play some drums, gonna do some drugs, gonna have a good time
Cuz I got time still to kill, I better enjoy it
Kickin back and waiting for my pager's hum with a vodka 80 proof
Listen to the cars and people passin by as the fan blades go around
Feel my pager buzz against my belt and hip, pick my phone up off the ground
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Talkin to my girl until I hear a knock and I tell her "call you back"
Open up the door and it's my boy Dennis in his beat up Cadillac
Cruisin down the street and never stoppin once on our way to anywhere
Wavin hi to people I don't even know, they wave back if they don't care
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
Nothin but time time time is that a crime
Nothin on my mind mind mind and that's just fine
