Caught Somewhere In Time
Iron Maiden · Eddie: Head Box [13 Cds] [1998]
An open mind and time to choose
Would you care to take a look
Or can you read me like a book?
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Can I tempt you, come with me
Be Devil may care, fulfill your dream
If I said I'd take you there
Would you go, would you be scared?
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Don't be afraid, you're safe with me
Safe as any soul can be...honestly
Just let yourself go
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time...oh oh
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time...oh oh
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing
You try to hide your deepest sins
Of all the things that you've done wrong
And I know where you belong
Time is always on my side
Time is always on my side
Make you an offer you can't refuse
You've only got your soul to lose
Eternally...let yourself go
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time...oh oh
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in two minds...oh oh
