Deadbeat Groove
Chronicles of Time: The Drippers' Deadbeat Groove
Lyrics
Black white movies on the TV-screen
Watching old black and white movies on the TV screen.
Seven months slacking with my vaseline
Slacking for seven months with a sense of indifference.
Looking at the tower of filthy dishware I couldn't even bother, yeah I couldn't even care I need to wake up and get things going
Observing a pile of dirty dishes but lacking motivation or concern.
It's time for the show But I'm always being late
Expressing the need to wake up and take action for a performance or event.
Yeah too late
Consistently being late for the show or responsibilities.
What can I do, I'm out of time I need to get things done Its getting late, I'm out of time I got to clear my mind I'm running out of time
Feeling time pressure, the urgency to complete tasks, and a need to clear the mind.
Clock starts ringing loud at six AM
An alarm clock rings loudly at 6 AM.
Ain't leaving bed for either diamonds or gem
Unwilling to leave bed, regardless of the potential rewards.
Call from the mine and I'm late again

Same old situation going day after day I need to wake up and get things going
Reiterating the need to wake up and start the day.
It's time for the show

But I'm always being late

I'm running out of time

People keep pushing and bringin' me down
Experiencing external pressures and negative influences from others.
Twisting myself, got me wearing a frown
Feeling twisted and burdened, reflected in a facial expression (wearing a frown).
Last call coming, not ready for the end
Receiving a last call or final warning, not prepared for the end.
Getting two more just to rise and ascend I need to wake up and get things going
Indulging in excess (getting two more) to cope and rise above challenges.
