Time Machine

1.
Climb inside
this time machine
and we'll be waiting for awhile.

Sealed inside
the present's pausing
laughing on the other side.

It's a long week
but we need no other sign.
It's a long, long week
according to its kind.

2.
Closed close behind
this bolted door
against the elements outside.

Time, it ambles by
this time machine
will settle on the other side.

It's a long week
but we need no other sign.
It's a long, long week
according to its kind.

3.
Safe inside
this time machine 
and we've been waiting for awhile.

Sealed inside
a drumbet echo
drowning out the present time.

It's been a long week
but we need no other sign.
It's been a long, long week
according to its kind.

4.
Safe inside
this time machine
and we've been waiting for awhile.

Float 'til we alight
treading water
future looming in our sights.

It's been a long year
and we need another sign.
It's been a long year
waiting for the time to fly.

It's been a long year
at the mercy of your time.
