his sister's on the beach
she's coming up on seventy
sand and sunscreen
she tries to keep her feet clean

drive into town 
drive her to the movies
cut off blue jeans
skinny legs on a hot seat

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
maybe some time if you've got the time
how about this time if you've got the time
maybe some time if you've got the time
we could go home we could go home
oh, i want to go home to-night to-day

fingers fire cigarette catches
bolts and latches matches matches
strings and straight pins super glue and cable
keys and loose change on the bedside table

hangers wet sheets mirror steamed in
cafe au lait saccharine saccharine
hanging on the chair with a belt and legs
towels chloroform and some camera lenses

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
maybe some time if you've got the time
how about this time if you've got the time
maybe some time if you've got the time
we could go home we could go home
oh, i want to go home to-night to-day

(i don't get the time
i got the time)
forget about that
just drive her to the movies
