Strike It While It's Hot! (Live)

When that pitcher gets off a curve ball

Does that mean that there was no ball at all?

When the preacher catches you asleep

Does that mean that you're some kind of a creep?

You've been standing on the corner

Looking like a stupid loner

Waiting for a bus

But the bus will pass you by

And you couldn't catch a dime

You can bite its dust

When the rain clouds pass and it stays dry

Does that mean that there was no clouds up in the sky?

When the rain comes back and it pours through

Does that mean that you finally understood?

So you want to feed your belly

And you jump into the deli

Looking for a bite

And you have a close encounter

With somebody at the counter

That wants to fight

And your week's not all that it could be

And you reach out for something so impatiently

And your days turn into months on end

It's time to flip the page and to start up again

Time to roll over

See what other tricks you got

Time to move over

Let the new guy take a shot

Strike it while it's hot

Later there might not

Be any room for thought

When that storm runs out all of your sights

Does that rock get your plans up into other skies?

What's the combination of the latest compilation

Does it need interpretation to avoid repetition

Or can we simplify and make it work?

Time to roll over

See what other tricks you got

Time to move over

Let the new guy take a shot

Strike it while it's hot

Later there might not

Be any room for thought

So you jump back in and play some more

And you're breaking all records that have gone before

And you turn yourself a 180

Does that mean that your eyes are looking back at me?

So you'd like to turn around and see the other side of town

But it's not easy

And every time you look

It seems that they took away the scenery

It's a view that you're not quite used to

But when did that ever seem to bother you?

Time to roll over

See what other tricks you got

Time to move over

Let the new guy take a shot

Strike it while it's hot

Later there might not

Be any room for thought

Strike it while it's hot

You've got to strike it while it's hot
