A man walked in to a bank one day
And he had inside his coat
A device which could end your life
But in this instance it won’t
He walked in through the front door
His heart was cool, calm and collected
The words he’d practiced a thousand times before
They would echo on and on
His heart went, “bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum”
His heart went, “bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum”
And he said, “high, high put your hands up to the sky,
this is a heist – a hold up but it’s different now this time
because I don’t want any money, I just want your time.”
And the people in the town,
put their hands and purses on the ground
As their hearts picked up and they went,
“bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum.”
And he said, “Just listen to my story
Can’t you help me find my mind?
I had it once and now it’s gone, it’s left me far behind.
I’d like it back, I’d like it back, I’d like it back again
By the way,” he said “my name’s Tim.”
He said, “high, high put your hands up to the sky,
this is a heist – a hold up but it’s different now this time
because I don’t want any money, I just want your time.”
And the sirens sounded loud, the police, they circled ‘round
But inside that bank they found…
The people were talking then they were laughing,
then they were saying to each other,
This isn’t a crime the situation is fine,
This is a chance to help our brother
The people were talking, then they were laughing, then they were saying,
It’s fine, fine this man here is fine
It was a heist, a hold up but it’s different now this time
Because he doesn’t want any money
He just wants our time
It’s fine, fine this man here is fine
It was a heist, a hold up but it’s different now this time
Because he doesn’t want any money
He just wants our time
