Counting Out Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel] I'm counting out time Got the whole thing down by numbers, all those numbers Give me guidance, oh 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 [Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins] Erogenous zones, I love you Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah) [Verse 2: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel] 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 (Do, do, do, do) Every page in the book (Do, do, do, do) And now, I've got the real thing here (Ah-ah) I'm gonna take a look, take a look This is it, Rael [Verse 3: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins] I'm counting out time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) Hoping it goes like I planned it 'cause I understand it Look, I've found the hotspots, figures one to nine Still counting out time (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) I got my finger on the button, don't say nothin' Just lie there still and I'll get you turned on just fine [Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins] Erogenous zones, I love you Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah) [Verse 4: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel] Touch and go with one to six Bit of trouble in zone number seven Gotta remember all of my tricks There's heaven ahead in number eleven Getting crucial responses (Do, do, do, do) With dilation of the pupils (Do, do, do, do) Honey, get hip! It's time to unzip (Ah-ah) To unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip, whipee! Put it away, Mr. Guitar (Move over, Casanova) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins] Ah, I'm counting out time (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah) 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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah) I got unexpected distress from my mistress I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away [Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins, Phil Collins] Erogenous zones, I question you Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah) Without you, what would a poor boy do? (Ooh, ah) Without you, mankind hand kinds through the blues (Ooh, ah)
