Lyrics

March of time

two ghosts waiting at a railway station
one is recent and the other one ancient
they are talking about the great divide
and why we all must die
it seems we rust from the inside out
on the roundabout
how did you find out?
one day you fade away
and then you know what it?s all about

the hands of the clock are going tick tock
round and round, round and round
you might think that you have some say in it
but you would be so wrong
everybody?s caught up in the march of time

i was busy with my heart's desire
to make a million bucks and then retire
plant some seeds where the water flows
and watch my garden grow
it seems we rust from the inside out
now the secret's out
how did you find out?
one day we fade away
and then you know what it?s all about

no more mornings, alarm clock calling
late again, late again
you might think that you have some say in it
but you would be so wrong
everybody?s caught up in the march of time

now I?m a ghost at a railway station
and I?m seeking an explanation
my time went past, it went too fast
i thought it would last forever
it seems we rust from the inside out
i had no idea
but now I?ve found out
'cause today I just faded away
and now I know what it?s all about

the hands of the clock are going tick tock
round and round, round and round
you might think that you have some say in it
but you would be so wrong
everybody?s caught up in the march of time
