Halestorm Time Man
[Verse 1]
Disguised as a bellhop
In an elevator at the Holiday Inn
He loves to give the door a stop
And graciously invite you in
Glances at his pocket watch
And he'll take any gal down town
Looks at you with a wink of an eye
And he asks 'going down?'
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't mess with the time man
Don't mess with his plan
'Cause he keeps a tight rein on both time and space
Don't mess with the time man
'Cause if you mess with his plan
You'll wake and find yourself another place
[Chorus]
Shielding my eyes so I can't see, yeah
Oh, time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes, yeah
And I'm forgiven so get out of my face
[Verse 2]
The elevator increases it's speed
Dust rains through your mind
Time man points to pictures on the walls
Of all the places in your past time
Feeling so guilty of your past
Of things you said and done
You see the time man smile and say
You have no where to run
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't mess with the time man
Don't you mess with his plan
'Cause he keeps a tight rein on both time and space
Don't mess with the time man
'Cause if you mess with his plan
You'll wake and find yourself another place
[Chorus]
Shielding my eyes so I can't see
Time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes
And I'm forgiven so get out of my face
Shielding my eyes so I can't see
Time man don't you mess with me
Reminding me about my past mistakes
But I'm forgiven so get out of my face
But I'm forgiven so get out of my face
(One more time)
I'm forgiven so get out of my face
