[Intro] [fast distorted guitar riff, rapid double-kick drumming] [cymbal crashes] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar rhythm] It's hard to slow down. When that little clock inside keeps ticking away. Like punching out your timecard. Only so many hours, only so many hours [bass slides] Only so many hours in a day. Ticking away. [Chorus] [full band energy, open power chords] So it's hurry up now, and hurry up later. Don't take the time to enjoy the time of day. (Hurry up now, hurry up later.) (Hurry up now, hurry up later.) Got to go now, ain't got time later. Don't waste the time, it might slip away! (Hurry up now, hurry up later) (Hurry up now, hurry up later) Hurry up, hurry up, you're okay! [Post-Chorus] [half-time drum feel, melodic guitar lead] [Verse 2] [distorted guitar returns to fast rhythm] It's hard to cool down. When that pilot light inside keeps burning away. To snuff it out is so hard. It's the flame of desire, it's the flame of desire. It's the flame of desire burning away. Don't keep it burning away! [Chorus] [high-energy vocals] So it's hurry up now, and hurry up later. Don't waste the time, don't waste the fuel away. (Hurry up now, hurry up later) (Hurry up now, hurry up later) Got to go now, ain't got time later Don't waste the time; it might slip away! (Hurry up now, hurry up later) (Hurry up now, hurry up later) It's okay! [Bridge] [drums drop to steady beat, guitar feedback] I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, For a very important, Important date! And the time, keeps ticking away! [Guitar Solo] [fast alternate picking, shredding electric guitar solo] [rapid double-kick drums] [Chorus] [shouted vocals] So, hurry up now, and hurry up later. We'll take the time to enjoy the time of day. (Hurry up now, hurry up later) (Hurry up now, hurry up later) Got to go now, ain't got time later. Don't waste the time, it might slip away! (Hurry up now, hurry up later) (Hurry up now, hurry up later) You know it's okay, ticking away!
