<b><i>For the Time Being</i>
by Kapitano
(introducing Dolly Eek on backing vocals)</b>
<u>Verse 1:</u>
I never promised to love and obey
I never told you I was here to stay
I never said that you were the one
So no regrets and no long goodbye
Could never find words tell to you why
Got days or weeks then I'm been and gone
<u>Chorus:</u>
For the time being, I'll stick around
For the time being, it's love we've found
For the time being, I'm here for you
For the time being, this love is true
<u>Verse 2:</u>
This life's to short to be on your own
One minute's too long to hang on the phone
Can't see the future and don't trust in fate
Not Cassanova not like Don Juan
Ain't like a movie and I'm not your man
Better to lose than turn into hate

<i> - Andre was here at midnight</i>
Hey man what you done
Could you believe nothing at all?
I look up, and I look down
Can’t see the sky, can’t see the ground
Hey Man is NOT my fault
I try and try, and try very hard
I give up, I give up
There no point when you are dead
And for the time being
I don’t think I can see
What you say or what you do
Is any relevant, is any relevant
Back to one, back to two
Starting again, and am feeling used
What’s the pain we all feel?
With the meaning that can’t describe
Who you are, and what you do
In a world where we feel we're being used
And for the time being
I don’t think I can see
What you say or what you do
Is any relevant, is any relevant
Hey man what we done
Could you believe nothing at all?
We looked left, and we'll look right
For the time being, we are dying.

FOR THE TIME BEING / King Arthur
No rash judgements, no sudden moves.
Wait and see if the state of things improves.
I'm lookin' over my shoulder, but I'm takin' it slow,
For the time being, I'm just going with the flow.
Circle in a circle, wheel in a wheel
Let those who have eyes wait and see what's revealed
Since the only tool I've got is the pillow on my bed
I choose waiting and watching over full speed ahead.
(chorus)
Silver on silver, gold beneath gold,
Some stories need a little extra time to be told.
Steel upon steel, brass upon brass,
No one gets out of here without a kick in the ass.
(chorus)
For the time being,
Just let the clock tick.
For the time being,
Let the days slide by.
For the time being,
Patience is the trick;
Don't worry 'bout when
'Til you understand why.
(chorus)

m sorry if i made you crazy
And im sorry if i made you hate me but
For the time being, we shouldnt be seeing (4x)
For a while so you might as well
Say all the things youve been wanting to say since forever
Why do you do
all these things that you dont mean to?
For the time being, we shouldnt be seeing (4x)
And anyone smarter woulda left a while ago
I guess im just a bit slow but you knew ya know
Im sorry if i made you crazy
And im sorry if i made you hate me but
For the time being, we shouldnt be seeing (4x)
Im leaving, leaving, leaving you
to do these mean things you do to you
And im sorry if i made you hate me but
For the time being, we shouldnt be seeing (4x)
For a while so you might as well
Say all the things youve been wanting to say since forever
Why do you do

I guess im just a bit slow but you knew ya know
Im sorry if i made you crazy
And im sorry if i made you hate me but
For the time being, we shouldnt be seeing (4x)
Im leaving, leaving, leaving you
to do these mean things you do to you

Everyone looks great! We're throwin' a party for The Time Being
We made his favorite cake, hazlenut icing for The Time Being
Fryin' peppers and steak, philly subs, that's what we're eatin'
He's gonna get here at eight! We're throwin a party for The Time Being
Put your nametags on. Try to put 'em, like, where he'll see 'em.
Gonna bang a gong, not exactly sure what that means
Have you guys met Juan? He worked at the pet store with The Time Being.
Nothing can go wrong, whe you're throwin' a party for The Time Being
It's gonna be a surprise, a surprise party for The Time Being
You can't see his eyes, that crazy visor's how the dude be's seein'
Yeast makes 'em rise, making some pizzas for The Time Being
And in case he cries, here's some tissues for The Time Being
Well he's from everywehen, and he's already seen everythin that ever happened.
And every day is his birthday, and so we're throwin a party.
Y'gotta be real nice to him, 'cause he's kinda shook up by all the wars and junk, like,
he really misses the dinosaurs, even though he's still technicallyt among them.
And he won't tell us nothin' about the future, so don't even ask about the lottery.
Try not to make it an issue, he's humble, and even though, to him, it already happened,
we're havin' a party.
