The Time Machine Songtext / Lyric

he circled and stared

nervous and scared

he knew both the thrill and the cost

but he didn't think twice

this amazing device

was his last chance to see

what he lost

now if time is really a river

and upstream's where he needed to be

he set his sights on the past

finished his glass

and went back in history



*Chorus*

to the casual eye its a barstool

but it's really much more than it seems

a few drinks and then

she'll be with him again

as he sits on the time machine






like all pioneers

he swallowed his fears

and watched the whole room fade to black

he's dying to go

but he's no fool

he knows

how hard it will be to come back

but tonight he is tired of the loney

and tomorrow will not be the cure

so he'll just slip away

find yesterday

and spend one more night with her



now as far as the customers can tell

he's just one more fool

who talks to himself

but every man in this place would line up

if they knew what that seat really was

(but)



*Chorus*



just a few drinks and then

she'll be with him again

as he sits on the time machine
