  • Come fly with me
    What are you waiting for
    Come fly with me
    Don't waste a minute more

    I'll give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you
    Give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you

    I'm waiting here
    For no one else but you
    Come closer dear
    That's all you have to do

    I'll give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you
    Give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you

    Don't be shy
    I would never hurt you
    I have had my eye on you
    for such a long, long time

    You know I'm always here
    If you should need me
    If you want a dream come true
    I'm the one you should see

    Go anywhere
    Still you can call on me
    And I'll be there
    Just say the word and see

    I'll give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you
    Give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you

    I've waited here
    For no one else but you
    Come closer dear
    That's all you have to do

    I'll give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you
    Give you my prime time
    I'm saving my prime time for you Writer/s: JOHN WALDO WAYBILL, MICHAEL DAVID COTTEN, PRAIRIE PRINCE, RICK MARC ANDERSON, ROGER A. STEEN, VINCE WELNICK, WILLIAM EDMOND SPOONER

  • Ronniew from Manchester UkI always took this as a satire on the way pay-per-view / subscription TV networks try to seduce us into signing up for their prime time services. Very prescient when there is now, 4 years later, a “Prime” subscription service !
  • The Seeker from 18634Hello. I hope someone can help me out. I'm looking for a video of "Prime Time". It was made by some Indie guys, it's an extended version of the song, and the video shows how TV has robbed humanity of its humanity. It also shows how Postmodern Art is garbage for the most part, and several other relevant topics directly related to the gradual dumbing-down of humanity as the control over us by the media increases daily, and how we need to eschew it and get back to basic human relationships while still living in today's world. It was on YouTube for the longest time but it was removed and I've been scouring the internet for a long time for it, including a personal request to the Tubes' website for it - I never received a response. If someone reads this and takes pity on this poor questing soul and actually finds it, please eMail me at qubit2900@comcast.net so we can make arrangements for me to download it. Thank you for reading this, and thank you much more if you decide to look for it, and the thank you to end all thank yous if you actually find it and contact me. (If and when you see it you'll know why I'm looking for it. It's brilliant.)
