Time After Time
Posted on March 3,2005 08:53 AM by

Would someone please explain to me why I have Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" stuck in my head?  It's been there all morning and I don't know why.  Did I hear it recently?  I guess there are worse songs to have stuck in my head.  Maybe reading this will get it stuck in your head too!  Here's the lyrics to help it get stuck:

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

Chorus:
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

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

Chorus:
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

Chorus:
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Big Silly

It's cause the song was used in Napolean Dynamite which we watched two nights ago and I made the comment that I loved Cyndi Lauper when I was a kid and used to lay in bed at night playing her tape (alternated with the new age tapes, of course).  And then I reminisced about her hairstyle in the video for that song...ya know the checkerboard shave job on one side of her head.
Whoa...

Dude, very weird.  I've had the same song stuck in my head all morning too, only I've never seen Napoleon Dynamite.  It must be true.  The mind meld...it has begun!
