Phases and Stages / Pick Up the Tempo / Phases and Stages (Theme)

Phases and stages
 Circles and cycles
 And scenes that we've all seen before
 Let me tell you some more
 People are sayin' that time will take care of people like me
 That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last too much longer
 But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour
 And little they know that the beat oughta go just a little faster
 So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
 The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
 Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
 And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
 Well, I'm wild, and I'm mean, and I'm creatin' a scene, I'm goin' crazy
 Well I'm good, and I'm bad, and I'm happy, and I'm sad, and I'm lazy
 I'm quiet, and I'm loud, and I'm gatherin' a crowd, and I like gravy
 About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
 So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
 The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
 Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
 And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
 Phases and stages
 Circles and cycles
 And scenes that we've all seen before
