Lyrics
I was walking through a courtyard
Without shoes and without regard
Automatic catacombs
Take me where I wanna go

All around, all in phases
It astounds and amazes
Built to last and known to roam
Touch me on my chromosome

One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time

Ultra-fine and altruistic
Can I spy into the mystic?
System's down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration

I was driving to a safe place
And arriving as I retrace
Yelling through a telescope
Aimed it at the star of hope

One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time

All over the yonder
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightening rod
Giving the beauty to it, heaven knows how well I know you

Ultra fine and altruistic
Cant I spy into the mystic?
Systems' down for infiltration
Open mind free of frustration

All around, all in phases
It astounds and amazes
Built to last and known to roam
Touch me on my chromosome

One time
Fascinated by the face of time
One time
I got it to give and now we're going to make some time

All over the yonder
The smell of blood and thunder
I'm connected by the lightening rod
Giving the beauty to it, heaven knows how well I know you

Time
