 I guess  there must be trouble but I not been alerted
 |
 
 
  looking  round the store it was all deserted and I'm
 |
  stranded  here with my empty basket

  Oh, there's an old man on the floor so I summon my charm
  I say "Hey scumbag, has there been an alarm?"
  he said "Yeh, 'been selling off eternal youth
  they all got afraid 'cos I'm the living proof
  My name is Einstein do you know time is a curve?"

  'cos there's only one rule that I observe
  Time is money, and money I serve"
