"Second Hand" lyrics

Times are tough, times are changing
Time itself is a luxury
Times of little, times of plenty
Times that knock you off your feet

Time is cruel, and waits for no one
Time can't wait to bury me
Beneath the very ground I walk on
Beneath the sands of history

It blows right by you like the wind tears across the plains
Cuts you in two like the highway that runs through the heart of this place
Builds you up just to break you down
Leads you astray just to turn you around
You'll find yourself in a jam
Keep an eye on the second hand

Time's a table always turning
Time for war and time for peace
Undeterred and unrelenting
Time is catching up to me

It blows right by you like the wind tears across the plains
Cuts you in two like the highway that runs through the heart of this place
Builds you up just to break you down
Leads you astray just to turn you around
You'll find yourself in a jam
Keep an eye on the second hand

It blows right by you like the wind tears across the plains
Cuts you in two like the highway that runs through the heart of this place
Builds you up just to break you down
Leads you astray just to turn you around
You'll find yourself in a jam
Keep an eye on the second hand
