I was walking
through a courtyard
without shoes and
without regard
automatic catacombs
take me where I wanna go
All around
all in fazes
it astounds
and amazes
good to last and known to roam
touch me I'm a chromosome
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
Ultra-fine and ultralistic
can I spy into the mystic
system down for infiltration
open mind free of frustration
I was driving
to a safe place
and arriving
as I retraced
Yell into a telescope
aim it at the star of hope
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
All over the under
the smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod
giving into the beauty and
heaven knows how well I know you
Ultra-fine and ultralistic
can I spy into the mystic
system down for infiltration
open mind free of frustration
All around
all in fazes
it astounds
and amazes
good to last and known to roam
touch me I'm a chromosome
What time
Fascinated by the face of time
What time
I got it to give and now we're gonna make some time
All over the under
the smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightning rod
giving into the beauty too and
heaven knows how well I know you
Time. . .
