Time is the movie in which we play minor roles Time ticks and time tricks us with the illusion of eternity Time waits like a wolf at the door Time flows from us like water, blows through us like a breeze Time takes a silhouette and puts it in your mind Time takes a sweet regret And leaves it somewhere you can't find Time never sleeps, but always dreams Time is a lifelong joke with a killer punchline Have you got enough time? Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow Til the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed Time takes the witnesses who shared your story Time is now We ride it out of the past and into the future Time grinds diamonds into sand And that sand fills another hour glass Time is a roulette wheel on which we bet until we're broke Have you got enough time? Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow Til the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed Time drips another drop The seconds seem to linger As the sand from the hour glass Is running through your fingers Time is neither linear nor real Time is the God without whom nothing exists Time is what everything takes But in the end, time takes everything Time turns new with second hand Time despises the constant grovelling of clocks Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow Till the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed Time drips another drop The seconds seem to linger As the sand from the hour glass Is running through your fingers
