Making Up Time
Song-a-Week Video
Making up time and making my bed
Making up rhymes inside of my head
Making up scenes that I can play
Making it real while I’m making my way
Making up lies and making up truth
Making up legends from the days of my youth
Making real sure that the road I’m on
Will take me on down to the end of this song
This world is what we make
It’s what we give and what we take
We can make it a heaven or make it a hell
Will we make it to tomorrow? Who can tell?
We’ve got all the time in the world
But every moment is a precious pearl
You can make mistakes or you might do fine
You can change your life if you make up your mind
Taking a risk or maybe taking up slack
Taking the wrong way on the way back
Taking up time and taking up space
Taking no prisoners in this place
Shaking a leg, shaking things up
Shaking your hand when I’m passing the cup
Shaking with fright, is that my fault?
Looking for my lost shaker of salt
Making excuses for making a mess
Making an exit’s what I do best
Breaking my word when I’m taking the oath
Taking the fifth prob’ly work for us both
Staking my claim to my part of the pie
Waking up late just in time to die
Shaking it here, boss, taking a powder
Making some noise, getting louder and louder
