Strict Time

INTRO:
G C G C G C G C

G
There's a hand on a wire that leads 
to my mouth
I can hear you knocking but I'm not 
coming out
      C
Don't want to be a puppet or a 
ventriloquist
'Cause there's no ventilation on a 
              G
critical list
D                                 
Fingers creeping up my spine are 
   C
not mine to resist
G
Strict time

CHORUS:

D
Toughen up, toughen up
Continúa después del anuncio
                            C
Keep your lip buttoned up
                   G
Strict time

G
Oh the muscles flex and the fingers 
curl
And a cold sweat breaks out on the 
sweater girl
Strict time
C
Oh he's all hands, don't touch that 
dial
The courting cold wars weekend witch
 trial
G
Strict time
D                                 
All the boys are straight laced 
      C
and the girls are frigid
The talk is two-faced and the rules 
                      G
are rigid 'cause it's strict time
Strict time

(chorus)

G
You talk in hushed tones, I talk in 
lush tones
Try to look Italian through the 
musical Valium
Strict time
C
Thinking of grand larceny
Smoking the everlasting cigarette of
     D
 chastity
Cute assistants staying alive
C                                 
More like a hand job than the hand 
G
jive
Strict time
