Too Much Time on My Hands
Styx
(Tommy Shaw)
From: "Paradise Theater"
 
 Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool,
         talking like a damn fool
 Got the twelve o'clock news blues
 And I've given up hope for the
         afternoon soaps
 And a bottle of cold brew
 Is it any wonder I'm not crazy
 Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
 
 Well I'm so tired of losing
 I've got nothing to do and all day
         to do it
 Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place
         to go and all night to get there
 Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal
 Is it any wonder I'm not in jail
 
 Is it any wonder I've got too much
         time on my hands
 It's ticking away with my sanity
 I've got too much time on my hands
 It's hard to believe such a calamity
 I've got too much time on my hands
         and it's ticking away, ticking away
         from me
         (Too much time on my hands)
 It's tick tick tick tick ticking away
         (Too much time on my hands)
 And I don't know what to do with myself
         (Too much time on my hands)
 
         (Too much time on my hands)
         (Too much time on my hands)
         (Too much time on my hands)
 
 Now I'm a jet fuel genius
 I can solve the world's problems
         without even trying
 I've got dozens of friends, and the fun
         never ends
 That is as long as I'm buying
 Is it any wonder I'm not the President
 Is it any wonder I'm null and void
 
 Is it any wonder I've got too much
         time on my hands
 It's ticking away with my sanity
 I've got too much time on my hands
 It's hard to believe such a calamity
 I've got too much time on my hands
         and it's ticking away, ticking away
         from me
         (Too much time on my hands)
 Ticky tick tick tick tick ticking away
         (Too much time on my hands)
 And I don't know what to do with myself
         (Too much time on my hands)
 Umm mmm...
         (Too much time on my hands)
 Tick tick tick ticking away
         (Too much time on my hands)
 Umm mmm...
         (Too much time on my hands)
 Too much time on my hands
 Too much time on my
