Lyrics for Dead On Time as interpreted by f_mercury

Dead On Time Lyrics
Fool always jumping never happy where you land
Fool got my bus'ness make your living where you can
Hurry down the highway
Hurry down the road
Hurry past the people staring
Hurry hurry hurry hurry

Leave on time leave on time
Never got your ticket but you leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
Gonna get your ticket but you leave on time
Put it in your pocket but you never can tell

Leave on time leave on time
Shake that rattle gonna leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
Fight your battle but you leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
Never got a minute no you never got a minute
No you never never got on no matter

Fool got no bus'ness hanging round and telling lies
Fool you got no reasons but you got no compromise
Stamping
Gotta get out gotta get out gotta get out
Oh you know I'm going crazy

Leave on time leave on time
Gotta get ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
Gonna head on ahead but you leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
You're running in the red but you never can tell

Leave on time leave on time
Gotta get rich gonna leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
But you can't take it with you when you leave on time
Leave on time leave on time
Got to keep yourself alive gotta leave on time
Gotta leave on time leave on time
Dead on time
'You're Dead'

Lyrics missing: it's "stamping on the ceiling, hammering on the walls".

This is actually one of my favourite songs off Jazz. I love the first verse.

Didn't think this type of song would be on "Jazz" of all albums. Jus so fast, heavy-esque, and damn kewl :)

Probably 'bout how we live at a rushed, accelerated pace, but in the end, death will catch up to us.

Missing verse:
"Oooh, honey, honey gotta get laid
Where's my money, where's my money
Wanna get paid, wanna get paid
Leisure leisure leisure"

This song made me think of a fast-paced, overweight business guy carrying a briefcase and rushing down the streets of New York City, talking on his cell phone. He's always in a rush to get to his next meeting or appointment so he really doesn't have much time for himself, let alone others. Then one day, he drops dead from a heart attack. The end!

This song is about an over achiever who is always concerned about making money. He is too busy to have a relationship therefore pays for sex. He has never taken time to appreciate the simple things and suddenly life is over. Tremendous song with crashing thunder at the end courtesy of god.

It doesn't have to be spelled with a capital. If you believe in the christian god then sure. but they could be talking about any god.

I always thought it was about how life's all filled with stress. Especially due to careers, money etc. and that it's important to just slow down and relax otherwise you might end up...dead.
