Move on as we step in time
Strange words from the other line
Edging forward, feeling strong
Syncopate with the marching song
Thoughts and dreams flick across your mind
Fade away as you wait for your time to go
You're waiting, waiting, waiting
Looking back as you head for home
Unsure if you walk alone
Friends call from an open door
Strange voice as you cross the floor
Thoughts of home flick across your mind
Slip away as you wait for your time to go
You're waiting, waiting, waiting
There's nothing left
The system's gone
It's ticking over, over, over
Right before our eyes
It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them sigh
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had
Face to face
Room to room
It's ticking over
The streets are bare
There's nothing there
It's all gone now, gone now, gone now
Right before our eyes
It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
See them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all I had
Face to face
Room to room
It's ticking over
It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had
Face to face
Room to room
We're taking over, oh!
King's Lead Hat (By Brian Eno)
Oh yeah!
Oh - it's automatic (narcotic) let's ride
Four turkeys in a big black car
The road is shiny (black shine) the wheels slide
It all goes for a dangerous ride
The lacquer crackles (black car) the engine roars
A ship is turning, they come back to the shore
Splish splash I was raking in the cash
The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface
King's lead hat was a mother to desire
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
King's lead hat put the innocence inside her
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
In New Delhi and Hong Kong
We all know that it won't be long
I count my fingers (here she comes) as night falls
And draw bananas on the bathroon walls
The killer cycles (hum drum) the killer hertz
The passage of my life is measured out in shirts
Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide
All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side
King's lead hat was a poker in the fire
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
King's lead hat was a mother to desire
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
The weapon's ready, the gun's on
The satellite can toss and turn
The captain's here (sieg heil) but nobody hears
The king's hat fits over their ears
He dials zero (cold line) on every time
He tries to dial out 999999999
He dials reception, he's all alone
He's just a victim of the telephone
King's lead hat made the Amazon much wider
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
King's lead hat was a mother to desire
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
King's lead hat put the innocence inside her
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
King's lead hat was the poker in the fire
It will come, it will come, it will surely come
Oh yeah!
Suddenly you find
Yourself walking for a long time
Your back's to the wall
But now you must go
Painting scenes from magazines
Sucking breath from nicotine
Standing tall against the crowd we sigh
Taking turns on telephones
Living lives in other homes
Listening for the passionate replies
Suddenly we find
Ourselves talking for a long time
Our voices are low
But now you must know
Giving all you have to give
Taking all you've got to live
Plotting all mistakes along the way
Find it hard to take it all
Reading names on other walls
Writing down the words we tried to sing
Visions of men never known
Never seen, never heard, never shown
Characters lying in wait
Responsible figures of fate
With memories and faces as long as their hate
Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying
There are factors rearranged every time
The phrases, the angles, so fine
Sunken valleys and decades of crime
Distant seasons
A smile that was quoted as mine
Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying
Ah
Overlook
Ah, ah
Overlook
Ha, ah, ah, ah
