Tim Booth - All About Time lyrics

Down the street and through the halls Corridors and shopping malls We're moving to an inner beat Heart disconnected from our feet I'm moving to a song that drives me on My heart beats strong My heart beats wrong We're zombies in the shopping mall Laden down with spoils of war Wearing all the clothes we stole Adding skin to break our fall Dragging cases full of junk We pilgrims stagger to the dump The lemmings call Take it easy take it easy The stars, the sky, the sun and moon and tides Descending to the underground Crowded out by subway sounds Buried heads in headline frowns Even the children look ground down By taxes adverts terrorists Compa**ion crawls money fists I need a full-time therapist So I can hang onto my bliss God give me something I can do To help me rise above the zoo Make me famous make me rich Distract me from this burning itch While starving homeless orphans fight For food and water, love and life While I can waste a day online Shopping for bu*ter knife Take it easy, take it easy The stars, the sky, the sun and moon and tides Johnny's on the phone, Johnny's online Johnny's in love, everything's alive Johnny thinks it's all about faith but it's all about time Johnny's on the phone, Johnny's online Johnny's in love, everything's alive Johnny's in an altered state cos it's all about time There's memory buried in the stone A new King sits upon the throne This fool is self deceiving Won't give up the world he's bleeding Our cities are all history full The fall of feet on cobbled streets The fossil records show All that remains is in the bones Johnny's on the phone, Johnny's online Johnny's in love, everything's alive Johnny thinks it's all about faith but it's all about time Johnny's on the phone, Johnny's online Johnny's in love, everything's alive Johnny's in an altered state cos it's all about time Roller blader full of grace Pirouette then flat on your face I never thought that falling down Was so beautiful
