Time
Written by - David Bowie
Time...He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boys
 
Time...He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
 
Time...In quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time
 
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
Oh, I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think 
'Oh God I'm still alive'
 
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (2 x's)
 
You...are not a victim
You...just scream with boredom
You...are not evicting time
 
Chimes...Goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time
 
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed...Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming
 
We should be on by now (5 x's)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (2 x's)
 
Yeah, time!
