Counting Out Time
Genesis
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)

I'm counting out time
Got the whole thing down by numbers
All those numbers
Give me guidance
O Lord I need that now

The Day of Judgement's come
And you can bet that I've been resting
For this testing
Digesting every word the experts say
Erogenous zones I love you
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Found a girl I wanted to date
Thought I'd better get it straight
Went to buy a book before it's too late
Don't leave nothing to fate
I've studied every line, every page in the book
But now I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look
Take a look

This is it Rael!

I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it
'Cos I understand it, look! I've found the hotspots, Figures 1-9
- Still counting out time, I've got my finger on the button
"Don't say nothin' - just lie there still now
And I'll get you turned on just fine"
Erogenous zones I love you
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Touch and go with 1-6
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7
Gotta remember all my tricks
There's heaven ahead in No. 11
Getting crucial responses with dilation of the pupils
"Honey get hip, it's time to unzip, to unzip zip, zip-a-zip, zip-a-zip
Whippee!"

- Move over Casanova -
I'm counting out time, reaction none too happy
Please don't slap me
I'm a red-blooded male and the book said I could not fail
I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my mistress
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away
Erogenous zones I question you -Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues
