Red-hot riveting you is my kinda fun
I can do it for hours a day
When I come for you after doin' my numbers
Plenty more hammers to play
Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent
I'm back from the wars, tools under your hood
And I'm digging around in her trunk
You leave me gasping unable to walk
She leaves me reloaded for funk
You want me to save all my rivets for you
And stop rolling dimes up her sleeve
I'll empty my pockets do what I do
Making love to you like you need
Your train runs on coal but I've got a mine
Riding these rails unheard
Pressurized piston of steam and a fire
From ashes that sing for your bird
Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent
We're in the back of a passenger flight
Your wings wrap my fuselage
You smile and whisper "are we a mile high?"
I light your jet stream barrage
(chorus)
You floor it to try to drain my tank
A bottomless trip every drop
Leave nothing for that strange intense
And she wants an hour on top
Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent
Up on your hood or back in your seat
A kitten plays pony time crop
Heaving, horse-drawn, I'm here for the heat
This whip screams when we have to stop
(chorus)
Spraying your windshield with fluid is fun
Then I follow in her rear view
You're stripping me to gears that run
She likes to swallow in two
Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent
A plane on the runway, a train in a tunnel
A ship glides between your docks
The images and metaphors are obvious I know
I want to feel the gates of your lock
(chorus)
Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent
You know I have to drive her then
I'll have more rivets for you
When I have to ride her train
I'll hammer these rivets for you
You know I will rise again
With red-hot rivets for you
Even though I go insane
I'm saving up rivets for you
Then we know I'll fly your plane
With rows of rivets for you
