I Need a Minute

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the land of hire
I hope you brought the right attire
The crippled man is waiting at the door
He said, "Your eyes are much too bright"
"The things you say are never right"
"The sins of all the world lie on your head"

[Pre-Chorus]
So when you see me look the other way
'Cause oh, oh, lately all I do is play
All the glasses in the world say, "Come with me"

[Chorus]
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
Innocent, considering my middle name is Shake My Body
Take a sin, it's Ritalin, I shimmy and I shake my body

[Verse 2]
Welcome to the land of fail
I hope you brought your soul for sale
The greeter's still at home, I think he died
The land of smash and fairy tale
The truth of life is close to hell
The best you'll be is nearly dead or failed

[Pre-Chorus]
So when you see me look the other way
'Cause oh, oh, lately all I do is say
"These plans I make believe all come with me"

[Chorus]
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
Innocent, considering my middle name is Shake My Body
Take a sin, it's Ritalin, I shimmy and I shake my body
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
Innocent, considering my middle name is Shake My Body
Take a sin, it's Ritalin, I shimmy and I shake my body

[Bridge]
Oh, perhaps it's all a dream and make believe
Oh, the last of all my dreams but still leave me

[Chorus]
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
Innocent, considering my middle name is Shake My Body
Take a sin, it's Ritalin, I shimmy and I shake my body
I need a minute to get my head straight
Just to hit it before it's too late
Innocent, considering my middle name is Shake My Body
Take a sin, it's Ritalin, I shimmy and I shake my body
