From time to time The tables turn You cross a line And get your fingers burn Suddenly is a new situation From day to day Dot to dot Case to case 'Til the cord is cut Suddenly is a new situation Everybody wants to believe they hold a Ticket to the train to the promised land Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie One day I woke from a dream On a rocket coming back from another planet Don't think I'm ever gonna understand Why Nothing is what it use to be These white walls are all new to me Time is the doctor and I'm his patient I don't know what he's done to me A gentle push or brain surgery? It's gonna take some imagination This new situation From A to Z Through and through The destiny I thought I knew Suddenly is an open ending I learnt the tricks I did the time My eyes have a-fixed On the finishing line All it is, is a new beginning Everybody dreams of a happy-ever-after
And gold at the rainbow's end Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie Everybody wants the machine to Run faster, faster out of hand I don't think I'm ever gonna understand Why Nothing is what it used to be These white walls are all new to me Time is the doctor and I'm his patient I don't know what he's done to me A gentle push or brain surgery? It's gonna take some imagination This new situation Oh…. Yeah…Oh… Nothing is what it used to be These white walls are all new to me Time is the doctor and I'm his patient I don't know what he's done to me A gentle push or brain surgery? It's gonna take some imagination This new situation Nothing is what it used to be These white walls are all new to me Time is the doctor and we're his patients I don't know what he'll do to us But things will change, I know that much It's gonna take some imagination This new situation
