Time, it's a wicked design Always running up and counting down Turning a king into a clown Why is it so unkind? Doing us in, clocking out Never letting us know What it's all about I know it's all we got Never moving left, never shifting right Just straight ahead with an iron might You can like it or not It may feel slow, it may feel fast Reminding you Nothing's ever gonna last Time, it's a wicked design Time is no one's friend Waves of joy, waves of pain Rising up in the pouring rain The tide gets you in the end Once it's done, something new begins Every saint forgotten with their sins Time, it's a wicked design
