Lying in my bed
I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
Time after time
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said, go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time

C.: No, this crown fits my head like it was made for it. As Johnny Cochran might have said if he was still alive, 'If the crown fits, I must be it.' (Ruler of the Planet of the Talking Cats, that is.) (ring)
Hmm…What’s this? Oh, it’s an IM from my husband on Earth, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken. I must concentrate on this election…but if T took the time to send me and intergalactic message with these newfangled telecommunication devices, then maybe I should i.m. him back. I just need to think of something nice and encouraging to say.
Nope. I’m coming up dry. I’ve been at this for all of thirty seconds, and I have no time to spare. However, my best human friend, d.c. scot, is a master at writing romantic drivel…I mean romantic prose and things like that. I’ll call him on my intergalactic telecommunication device
and see if he can help me make my husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken more comfortable about me being away for so long running this election campaign. (ring).
d.: Hello?
C.: d.c., I need your help. My husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken just sent me a very romantic intergalactic message on this newfangled telecommunication device, but I’m so busy with this election that I cannot think of a thing to say.
d.: Well, I’m pretty good at this. I’ll give it a try and then send it to you to see what you think.
C.: Thanks, d.c., you’re a real pal.
d.: I’ll just sit down at my computer and start writing Cal.E.’s love note to her husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken promptly. I'll become the subject of the message to make it easier to think of what he might like to hear.
Now, let’s see…
Dear Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken, my favorite husband, please forgive my tardiness in responding to your romantic intergalactic message. It touched me in places that I didn’t know even existed.
No, that isn’t right. This will make him think about things that cannot happen right now.(delete). I’ll try again.
My dearest Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken, I long to gaze into your eyes and tell you how much you mean to me…
d.: No, that will have the same result…Hmm, I know that Cal.E. is busy campaigning for Ruler of the Planet of the Talking Cats, and so does T. Maybe this can wait a few days until I can find something appropriate for the situation to say. I hope that Cal.E. doesn’t get too upset if I put this off until after my project for one class, my midterm exam for another class, two sixteen-hour shifts at work to cover for my coworkers who are still on vacation and my six doctors’ appointments I have this week. I know she’s very busy, though, so I should help her out in her time of need.
Meanwhile, on the Planet of the Talking Cats
C.: (Hmm, this episode is called ‘Return to Gilligan’s Island.’ I never saw the castaways get off the island. I suppose I must re-watch the whole season now to see what I missed.)
