about

This song's about finding free time, and having fun with it. In an "80s" way.

lyrics

[hey, I hope you're enjoying this CD - the next song is bite size life]

Verse 1:

Taking free time, a lost art
playing tunes in my car, began at the start of a journey,
might as well take it - or fake it! 'til you make it ...

Can't fool anyone but yourself
in the end, not about getting plush-felt,
but it helps to sidestep melt! so take care of it ...

Chorus:

I can't tell sometimes if its day or night, cuz I'm often inside
[bite size it - categorize it]
my foam and fuzzy suit, so bright - it helps me feel alive
oh, no - look what you've done!
Authentication denied for fun
[authorization denied for fun]
plan a vacation, go to a con - you work to hard
[work, work, you're working too hard]
oh yeah, much more than that - living life not stored or stashed
bite size rules for bite size time, bite sized everything -
everything's all right ... well bye-bye for a while!
... and I'm bringing back my friends this time - whoa yeah -

Verse 2:

Never took a second look
cuz I know that you read me like an open book
from cover to cover, I'm about to discover -
somethings wild ...

you stomped up to me and asked me to dance
I laughed nonchalantly, but I'm helpless, entranced
then snap! popped my head back on, I said "sure!"
and we rocked out all night, dancing on that floor

Chorus: [repeat], whoo!!

Bridge:

Please don't stay ordinary
please don't play temporary
I know the grind is scary -
don't you tire of arbitrary?
Well I do!
"Yes, I do too!"

[synth solo, guitar solo]

Chorus [repeat]

bite sized rules for bite size time,
bite size everything - everything's all
bite sized rules for bite size time,
bite size everything - everything's all right
well bye-bye for a while - let me say, bye-bye for a while
aw yeah, gonna say bye-bye for a while,
see you later,
gonna say bye-bye for a while-
gonna stop and get right out of here
see you later, later, later, later, later, bye-bye!
