lyrics

Time Was

Under the desert
Of every blank hour
That you spend looking back
You could be soaking
In the reservoir

Got it all boxed up
So you'll never forget
Where all the time went
None of the names were changed
They all stayed the same
No one was innocent

Time was not a single design
Went undone
Sing said it was driving you
Blind dumb and dead
Eyes down head turned around
Sign said it was driving you
Blind dumb and dead

Step in the river
Then step in again
Take a good look down
Footsteps going to dissolve

Here's a riddle
With your mind undone
Is it frozen in time
Stare at the sun
Perfectly preserved
Time was you were the lucky one
