It was a long time ago now
But you’re still here bending time
So feel each passing moment
You can’t slow the current
You don’t believe in change
My friend now you will find
You cannot turn back time
Play with wheels and gears
I know you can try you can try
My friend now you will find
Fate is the last thing you can fight
They’ll feed off all your fears
You cannot run you cannot hide
The creative interchange of human personality
Rests upon the fact that we know we’re going to die
Of that the animals and the grass and so on knows nothing
But our knowledge of our death is what gives us a normal anxiety that says to us
Make the most of these years you are alive
Learn and come to see how
The mundane is sublime
So feel each passing moment
You can’t slow the current
The arrow of time flies
My friend now you will find
You cannot turn back time
Play with wheels and gears
I know you could try you could try
My friend now you will find
Fate is the last thing you can fight
They’ll feed off all your fears
You cannot run you cannot hide
You started a war that we could not contain
The rains just couldn’t bear the pain
You know it’s hard for me to say
We’ll leave that for now and just remain the same
