Medley: What Time Is It? / Off My Line - Live at the Wetlands, New York, NY - September 1990

What time is it?
 Four thirty
 It's not late, naw, naw,
 Just early, early, early
 President, he sweat through his talcum
 News paper man, he watch like a falcon
 "Ah, look... daddy-o... sorry, Mr. President... where ya been?"
 Use a little english to doctor the spin
 What time is it?
 Four thirty
 It's not late, naw, naw,
 just early, early, early
 It's my bread and butter
 Aint got no other
 It's on the TV
 The spin's on me...
 Ayatollah, he's hopping mad
 Jibber about some damn jihad
 Send me back to old Baghdad
 Spin Doctor its oh so sad
 What time is it?
 Four thirty
 It's not late, naw, naw,
 Just early, early, early
 It's my bread and butter
 Aint got no other
 It's on the TV
 The spin's on me...
 I've been thinking lately
 How to get you off my line
 Don't seem all that easy but it
 Feels alright
 I've gotten rid of expectations
 that I used to have
 And we don't get along and it really ain't so bad
 Somewhere in between the blue & the red
 "This is temporary," is all she said
 Someday things may be a little better than before
 All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door
 Alone in my room
 I lay awake and dream
 I'm sleeping half awake I got to
 Try to explain
 That I don't need your love and it
 Means this much to me
 I don't need your love woman won't you see
 Somewhere in between the blue & the red
 "This is temporary," is all she said
 Someday things may be a little better than before
 All these mysteries and they're knocking at my door
 She must not realize
 What this means to me
 I figured out her disguise
 Hey, mama, I'm not dreaming
 (she's way off reality)
 I've been thinking lately
 How to get you off my line
 Don't seem all that easy but it
 Feels alright
 I've gotten rid of expectations
 That I used to have
 And we don't get along and it really ain't so bad
