I sit in silence as the world goes by
I say nothing to anyone
it washes over me
I can't afford to get involved

I waste the hours that were given me
I sit and think and watch the days go by
it washes over me
I can't afford for to get involved

time travel seems a way out
maybe that we should
time travel seems a way out
maybe that we should have a go

one day you'll find this all a little hard
one day you'll want to start again
it washes over me
I can't afford to get involved

time travel seems a way out
maybe then we should
time travel seems a way out
maybe then we should have a go

now that the king is dead, long live the king ...
