I Don't Do Drugs I Do Time

I don't do drugs, I do time
Make it stop and rewind
To correct mistakes of mine
To recollect friends of mine
I don't do drugs, I do time
Make it stop and look ahead
See what's coming around the bend
What to avoid and what to blend

And I remember when we first met
Where you sat, what you said
What was running through my head
Where you sat and what you said

And though my eyes are clear
I've been travelling miles from here
I've seen colours and I've known years

I don't do drugs I do time
Make it stop and rewind
And I remember when we first met
Where you sat and what you said

And though my mind is clear
I've known distortion and I've know fear
I've told people, "Get me out of here"

I don't do drugs I do time
Feel the changes in my mind
I'm walking to school in sixty nine
The next day I'm thirty five
And one day we're all going to go to Fez
In a train an express
That comes slowly from Marrakesh
To this city that time forgets
And though my eyes are clear
I've been travelling miles from here
I've seen colours and I've know years

I don't do drugs I do time
Make it stop, look ahead
And I remember when we first met
Where you sat and what you said

Dadadada dadada dadada dadada
I don't do drugs I do time
Make it stop and rewind
Reimagine, redefine
Recondition, realign
Reelected, not resigned
I don't do drugs
Baby, I do time
