Time Lyrics
I was walking through a courtyard
Without shoes and without regard
Automatic catacombs
Take me where I wanna go
[Pre-Chorus]
All around, all in phases
It astounds and amazes
Built to last and known to roam
Touch me on my chromosome
[Chorus 1]
One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time
[Chorus 2]
Ultra-fine and altruistic
Can I spy into the mystic
System's down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration
[Verse 2]
I was driving to a safe place
And arriving as I retraced
Yell into a telescope
Aim it at the star of hope
One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time
[Post-Chorus]
All over the under
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod, giving the beauty to it
Heaven knows how well I know you
[Chorus 2]
Ultra-fine and altruistic
Can I spy into the mystic
System's down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration
[Pre-Chorus]
All around, all in phases
It astounds and amazes
Built to last and known to roam
Touch me on my chromosome
[Chorus 1]
One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time
All over the under
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod, giving the beauty to it
Heaven knows how well I know you
[Outro]
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
