It’s a good time to jump off of the ride
To slip this struggle, find a way to survive
Thought it might seem like a tip of the hat
I’ll kick that stone across the welcome mat
A good time to turn invisibly gone
Leave the painted ponies, circling on
This matter of, improvement was lost
When I found myself, tied up and tempest-tossed
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to jump ship in the sea
Take a dive into uncertainty
The risk is great, but rewards will come
A chance to sit, staring at the sun
A good time to play chess in the rain
With watercolors running down the drain
If I get tagged as a fumbling fool
I’ll blame it all on what I learned in school
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to hang my head
Go into hiding underneath my bed
To be a trouper carries nothing but shame
I’ll shed my skin, and my change my name
A good time to find the keystone slot
Draw with chalk around the parking lot
Memories make me, a fool for tears
Haven’t been happy in a hundred years
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to turn up the heat
Stage a protest, marching out in the street
But that’s too obvious, for a detective
I’d rather kept it cool, and highly selective
Getting kicks is an easy pursuit
Going swimming in my birthday suit
But a satellite may scan the scene
And print my picture in a glossy magazine
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to get drunk by the fire
And take a trip on the fly-by-wire
I might crash into the stoney bluff
But a cold calculation will be enough
A good time to curse at the dark
And drive my rig through the trailer park
People scatter at the sound of a gun
A sign of conflict, lost or won
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to squeeze and kiss the sky
With lips puckered for a sour reply
The ghosts of old, contribute their best
And when I gander, I’ll go off on a guess
A good time to flip the world on its head
Pay for nothing, take it free, instead
As a joker, there is little to lose
It’s all the same as mud on my shoes
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to widen your eyes
Look at the heavens with honest surprise
No matter what the plan was, before
Murphy’s Law will even the score
A good time to break bread with a friend
From start to finish, we’ve reached the end
It might be easy to accept the choice
When an opponent, raises their voice
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to turn the knob to ten
With a cascade of sounds, ready to send
Rattle windows, and nerves as well
That’s the bargain I bring to sell
A good time, to boldly seek relief
And find shelter in the sweltering heat
Just remember that the target may claim
Every arrow when you take your aim
A good time
A good time
It’s a good time to say goodbye
Make an exit, pull the curtains aside
When you leap off the stage, like a trick
They’ll applaud with a swizzle stick
A good time to fade the camera to black
As the aperture closes to a thumbtack
The final finish is a merciful thing
Like the tone of a telephone ring
A good time
A good time
