"Time" lyrics

You're a visitor if time is just a place
It's positively pointless if it goes to waste
Nelson will get his eye back though
Before we see you change
A lifetime spent sat sitting on the sideline

Don't you wanna go outside in the sunshine sometimes

Time waits for no man
It's the last bus home at night
Don't wake up old
And fight against the dimming of the lights
All our ships are sinking
But they take a while to go down
Don't spend your life sat sitting on the sideline

Don't you wanna go outside in the sunshine sometimes

Not all that you seek will prove itself to be
Paler than the promise of your wildest hopes and dreams

You know that you're a visitor if time is just a place
Don't stand there in the shadows
With that look upon your face
In the furnace of the future
Lies the embers of the past
But you won't see that sat sitting on the sideline

Don't you wanna go outside in the sunshine sometimes
