Time Is Running Out Lyrics - Steve Winwood

Every day there's something new that's going around 

Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town 

Business men they shake their heads and then they frown 

Everybody tries so hard to put them down 

It seems to me that maybe they got something going 

And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know 

Time is running out 

Woman, can you hear me clear? 

I hope that you can 

Before you go to sleep at night 

Take care of your man 

And if you want a love that will always be around forever 

Then you finally get it, ah, but you ain't gonna have it together 

Time is running out, running out 

Time is running out, running out

Johnny drives a Thunderbird, he's in a big rage 

Always being criticized for being his age 

In his nose a safety pin and life's a razor blade 

He's so sick of everything that's been made 

It seems to me that maybe he's got bad frustration 

And all we can do is try and give the right information 

Oh, 'cause time is running out 

Population on the move 

So don't you delay 

Get yourself right in the groove 

'N' hear what I say 

It's no good being lazy 

You've got to get up on your feet and shout 

'Cause it'll make you crazy 

When you realise you've been left out 

Time is running out, running out 

Time is running out, running out 

Time is running out, running out 

Photos 

In the future there's no room 

People standing on your toes 

Mother nature's on the run 

Everybody's got a gun 

Soldiers walking in the street 

Giving off a lot of heat 

There just ain't enough to eat 

If you're poor, you've got no meat 

Advertising in the sky 

They like to stick it in your eye 

So mad it will make you cry 

All the things that you don't need 

Trouble in the family (Said, separation and the [sea?]) 

There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be) 

Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be) 

[?] people stare (You know it's true and) 

Time is running out, running out 

Time is running out, running out 

Television in my home (People watching every day) 

Someone's talking on the phone (I can't hear a word I say) 

There's no time to be alone (There's no time to get away) 

Wonder why your mind is blown (Nervous breakdown every day) 

Take me where the air is clean 

To the country, fresh and green 

I just cannot stand this pace 

Sorry, but there's no such place 

Time is running out, running out 

(Repeat and fade)
