Hey, Mr. desk clerk just give me my keys
I don't want no conversation
We don't have no situation
The bellman go on sleeping
Black cat keep on creeping
Trying to steal a minute
From a stingy hands of time
And I'm tryin' to get to heaven
Before they hang out the closin' sign
World blown past me
And what have I got to show
I'm just tryin' to steal a minute
Before it's time to go
I walk up the stairwell
And unlock my door
Baby left me a message
She don't want me 'round no more
Look out through the rain drops
Lookin' straight to the end of time
Tryin' to steal a minute
From the stingy hand of time
Tryin' to pull a drowned man
Out into the sunshine
Stranger on the highway
With everything that you want to know
I'm tryin' to steal a minute before it's time to go
