DOWNTIME.
musik: pehrsson 
tekst: jørgensen

We couldn’t afford it if the apeman walked
There’d be egg on our faces if the pidgeon talked
So the Man in the Mirror told me I am the one
Who has to do what has to be done

A left-handed barber was the middle man 
The main opposition was the riddle man 
I met him one night where the river ran 
Fast enough to take him away

CH: 
I need some downtime
Some time on my own time
Some peace in my own mind
I need to believe what I’m told
I need some downtime
Some time on my own time
Some peace in my own mind
Please let me in from the cold

I had me a tussle with a Flying Ace
Guess I left my initials on his lying face
You could say he’s the kind of guy who’s hard to impress 
And I just wouldn’t settle for less
CH:

B-stykke:
I took a belladonna junkie for my lover
I guess I needed her lies
She cut me up inside and blew my cover
I left her in the taiga
Under the ice

Way down in the jungle they were thick on the ground 
The clock was against me and the chips were down
I was caught in the lights in front of ten thousand men 
And all I thought was “Never again”
