We come from a long line of clock watchers Who try to put time in a frame Watching the sun cross the sky A sundial! The need to put time in our hands We try to control time, possess it It's a force with no feeling, no form Just another irresistible power Slipping right through your hands Time changes time passe Time doesn't wait We delude ourselves By giving it substance But we know we are not its master And in the event that something good happens We try to make it last But time cannot be sped up or slowed So tell me, why even try? Procrastinate, procrastinate Time is on my side Just five more minutes, I'll do it tomorrow Today's just not a good time Time doesn't have a side It's steadier than a rock It flows like a river It doesn't tick like a clock! It isn't an hourglass, a watch on a wrist You cant touch it or hold it It's a question without an answer Like a river it will run out Like a rock, it will sink. We watch the clock ticking Counting as time passes us by.
