Mr Time Lyrics

[elliot/copland/driscoll]

 

 Stealing a moment from mr. time

 He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime

 But it's all for show, all for show.

 Wearing your name and a number or two

 When the minute's up, so are you

 But everybody knows, everybody knows.

 

 Watching the hour from the light in his eyes,

 He waits for your soul to come in from the sky

 But it's lost below, lost below.

 Turning the wheel of your destiny round,

 When the motion stops - no more sound,

 Does anybody care, anybody care.

 

 Where's the man, where's the child

 Wrapped together side by side.

 Who can tell you what to do,

 When mr. time has come for you.

 See the truth, hear the lies,

 Can there be no compromise

 And who can tell you what they knew,

 When mr. time has come for you.

 

 Is it a feeling of deja vu?

 When he points his finger calling you

 Is it illusion?  just an illusion

 Picking up seconds that fall to his feet

 He blows them away as rocks on his seat,

 Cool as his smile, his smile.

 

 Where's the man, where's the child

 Wrapped together side by side.

 Who can tell you what to do,

 When mr. time has come for you

 See the truth, hear the lies,

 Can there be no compromise

 And who can tell you what they knew,

 When mr. time has come for you.
