When you're running out of time
It's hard to know how fast you're goin'
You could be a minute or an hour late
There's just no way of knowin'

And when I say we're running out of time
I don't mean time is depleted, no
No, we're not running late
We're just physically outside of the flow
(By the "flow" we mean chronological time.)

We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta-gotta get back
Gotta-gotta get back in time!
(We gotta get back in time, yeah!)

When I say we must get back in time
I must admit that I mean it two ways
I mean, we have to get back into the flow of time
But also that we have to do it fast
Because we're runnin' out of time
But not the way I said that earlier
(Not the way I indicated earlier.)

We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta-gotta get back
Gotta-gotta get back in time!
(Gotta-gotta get back in time, yeah!)

We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta get back in time
(We gotta get back in time.)
We gotta-gotta get back
Gotta-gotta get back in time!
