[Refrain]
Playing for time, I can see your false face in my mind
I can hear your false claims out of line
But now everyone, they pass you by

[Verse 1]
Playing for time, I can see you're out of place and time
Standing in an empty space that's mine
But now everyone, they know the reason why

[Refrain]
Playing for time, I can see your false face in my mind
I can hear your false claims out of line
But now everyone, they pass you by

[Verse 2]
Playing for time, how could you think I could be so blind?
I turned the screw that works inside your mind
But now everyone, they pass you by

[Bridge]
I can hear and see your pulse race
I can hear and see your pulse race
I can hear and see your pulse race

[Verse 3]
Playing for time, I can see you're out of place and time
Standing in an empty space that's mine
Well now everyone, they know the reason why
[Bridge]
I can hear and see your pulse race
I can hear and see your pulse race
I can hear and see your pulse race

[Refrain]
Playing for time, I can see your false face in my mind
I can hear your false claims out of line
But now everyone, they pass you by

[Outro]
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
Playing for time (Playing for time)
