lyrics

Hell of a Time - Words and Music by Douglas Osborne

Why is the air so thick why is the fog so low
answer debris from questions to me

Do i ask for too much expecting your touch with nothing in return
or do you want me to figure out your needs well watch me learn

I don’t know myself very well at all but I’m having a hell of a time finding out
questions and answers but we had a hell of a time finding out

where do you get those clothes where did you steal that pose
stylish debris from fashions for me

where did you steal that rose crime doesn’t pay do you suppose
legal debris from trials for me

Do i ask for too much expecting your touch with nothing in return
or do you want me to figure out your needs well watch me learn

why is the air so thick why is my brain so slow
answer debris from questions to me

why does it take so long for common sense to show
logic debris from problems for me
no problems for me

I don’t know myself very well at all but I’m having a hell of a time finding out
questions and answers but we had a hell of a time finding out

I don’t know this world very well at all but I’m having a hell of a time finding out
questions and answers giving me a hell of a time finding out
