I stormed the scene in a limousine Left in an ambulance I was sittin' pretty 'til I prayed to the city And I never stood a chance Held as tight as I could stand Until I had an itch Traveling time Traveling time Traveling time The way things were, I was damn near sure I'd be dead by 23 And I never considered I'd survive my liver Just to worry about my knees Sticks and stones might break my bones But time undoes us all Traveling time Traveling time Traveling time The truth is lava I'll lie on the couch Gotta get some shut-eye somehow Still, it's colder now I remember mid-September (traveling time) Watching trains at seventeen (traveling time) Gift to Quietus, the queen (Traveling time) Dreams consigned (traveling time) Three centennials of seasons (traveling time) Here it comes (traveling time)
