Right Place, Wrong Time Lyrics by -itis

It Is... Isn’t It?

1997

[Verse 1]
I got a real big credit limit but I ain't got a dime
I got a big Swiss watch with diamonds but I ain't got the time
I got a wall of dusty books but I ain't got no read
I got a plan to make the big time but I never succeed

[Chorus]
I'm in the right place at the wrong time
I know just what to seek but I still never find
I got the wrong face, but the right mind
I know what to believe but they treat me unkind

[Verse 2]
I got a closet you can walk in but I ain't got no clothes
I got a new car for each day but I got nowhere to go
I got a lot of folks to walk on but I ain't got no shoes
I got everything to be happy but I still got the blues

[Chorus]
I'm in the right place at the wrong time
I know just what to seek but I still never find
I got the wrong pace, with the right climb
I try so hard to lead, but I'm always behind

[Bridge]
I always give but I never receive
I always get there when it's time to leave

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I'm at the right place at the wrong time
I know just what to seek but I still never find
I got the wrong phrase, but the right rhyme
I know just what to speak, but I'm never in time

[Verse 3]
I always give but I never receive
I always get there when it's time to leave
"He's always gone when you knock on his door"
I'm always not what you've been looking for

[Chorus]
I'm in the right place at the wrong time
I know just what to seek but I still never find
I got the wrong face, but the right mind
I never will achieve, so I'll sit here
And just bitch and whine

[Outro]
*music box fading*
*studio ambiance*
