[ar:paul simon]
[00:31.28] I've been working on my rewrite,that's right
[00:33.84] I'm gonna change the ending
[00:36.34] Gonna throw away my title
[00:38.99] And toss it in the trash
[00:41.64] Every minute after midnight
[00:43.79] All the time I'm spending
[00:46.75] It's just for working on my rewrite
[00:49.73] Gonna turn it into cash
[00:51.58]
[00:52.18] I've been working at the carwash
[00:54.63] I consider it my day job
[00:57.18] Cause it's really not a pay job
[00:59.74] But that's where I am
[01:02.44] Everybody says the old guy working at the carwash
[01:07.60] Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam
[01:11.56]
[01:12.91] But I say help me,help me,help me,help me
[01:16.51] Thank you!
[01:16.86] I'd no idea
[01:20.11] That you were there
[01:23.21] When I said help me,help me,help me,help me
[01:26.91] Thank you,for listening to my prayer
[01:32.97]
[02:15.31] I'm working on my rewrite,that's right
[02:17.72] I'm gonna change the ending
[02:20.42] Gonna throw away my title
[02:22.92] And toss it in the trash
[02:25.52] Every minute after midnight
[02:27.57] All the time I'm spending
[02:30.82] Is just for working on my rewrite,that's right
[02:34.07] I'm gonna turn it into cash
[02:36.07]
[02:36.27] I'll eliminate the pages
[02:38.62] Where the father has a breakdown
[02:41.17] And he has to leave the family
[02:43.77] But he really meant no harm
[02:46.32] Gonna substitute a car chase
[02:48.88] And a race across the rooftops
[02:51.43] When the father saves the children
[02:54.18] And he holds them in his arms
[02:56.54]
[02:57.14] And I say help me,help me,help me,help me
[02:59.99] Thank you!
[03:01.34] I'd no idea
[03:04.09] That you were there
[03:07.17] When I said,help me,help me,help me,help me
[03:10.77] Thank you,for listening to my prayer
