Genesis - Counting Out Time
------------------------------------------

[The palpitating cherry-red organ was returned to its rightful place and began to beat faster as it led our hero, counting out time, through his first romantic encounter.] 


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 studied every line, every page in the book,
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.

This is Real !

I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it,
'cos I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9.
- still counting out time, got my finger on the button,
Don't say nuttin - just lie there still
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 of my tricks.
There's heaven ahead in No. 11 !
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
Honey get hip ! It's time to unzip, to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip.
Whipee !
(Take it away Mr. Guitar)
- Move over Casanova -

I'm counting out time, reaction none to 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.
Erongenous 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.
