lyrics

There will be time for gambits and invertebrate forfeiture
Time to set the house ablaze, time to buy new furniture
A time to be cast in bronze or quietly buried alive
A time to be at the bottom and climb or at the top and dive
There will be a time for the sad light of love’s short circuits
A time for the trashed convent of the lonely hearted circus
A time to stand on the pennies in the fountain in the square
A time to drive all night and not get in but still say that you were there

I don’t look in the mirror
I know who waits for me there
I don’t know what he wants from me
Don’t know, don’t care
Don’t know, don’t care

There will be a time for talk without a word and winging without a song
Time to be sure against all odds and time to know when you are wrong
There will be a time for a garden to grow in the most wasted of wastelands
There will be a time for the hammer to at last swing the hand
A time for facts and evidence and a time just to believe
And a time to eat snake and give the apple back to eve
I’ll give you the code to get in, just lock up when you leave
Another year has come and gone, but there’s no time to grieve

I don’t look in the mirror
I know who waits for me there
I don’t know what he wants from me
Don’t know, don’t care
Don’t know, don’t care
Don’t know, don’t care
Don’t know, don’t care
