LYRICS
Rock the clock like Bangkok (+12 hours)
Ya ought ‘a Jakarta (+12)
Come on, Boy, like Hanoi (+12)
You know you can even go to Tokyo? (+14)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last
Want to start slow? Try Oslo (+6)
Or way down in Freetown (+5)
Time flies by? Try Dubai (+9)
As for me, I’m rarin’ like a Yarenian (+17)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last
Still standing still in Guayaquil? (same time)
Or minus a few in Honolulu (-5)
Come on Ketchup to Hamburg (+6)
Gonna do what I can do in Katmandu (+10:45)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last
