Lyrics

Time has resigned herself
To the life of a street dealer
Selling scenes
Going door to door
Time confides claiming
She is the ultimate healer
But she’s the reason to forget
All the time that you have spent
Attempting to get more

You hear her knocking at your door
With a grin as she implores
She’s so easy on the eye
As you watch her slip on by

And when you ask her to take leave
For the loved one as you grieve
She just laughs as you fall about
Leaving you with time
Attempting to bail you out

Time
Time

Time after time
You gaze too deeply into her eyes
You’re a mere mortal
Transfixed and paralysed
Browsing the catalogue of scenes
Advertised

Inquiry now reveals
Her past and future siblings
Snapping at your heels
Jeering dismissing
Each and every one of your appeals
And your attempts at stealing time

At your door
With a grin as she implores
She’s so easy on the eye
As you watch her slip on by
And when you ask her to take leave
For the loved one as you grieve
She just laughs as you fall about
Leaving you with time
Attempting to bail you out

Time
Time
Time

And then one day you find you’re
In a bind with your credit running low
The scenes you buy won’t save you
But you act like you don’t know

You’re strapped for time
Your life’s on the line
As she winks and turns to go
As your heartbeat starts to falter
And your breathing starts to slow

I doubted whether
I am just my body
Or whether there’s more to me than that
More to all of us than that
