Lyrics
DOWN TIME
©2005 Ray Kainz
Of all things I don?t understand
Like why human would hurt human
There?s one thing I?d love to know
Is one lifetime long enough to grow
The universe strives to expand
Pursuing places beyond its plan
Growing at the speed of light
Even if it takes all night
Another thing I just don?t get
How pleasure precedes regret
And of course we can?t forget
How in the world does Kevin Bacon know someone we met
Attempting to avoid newsbreak
Blunder becomes mammoth mistake
For the friendships that you fake
Look away as you take and take and take
We all just saw the same crime
Eyewitness doesn?t align
You made your bed but now you want to lie in mine
What were you thinking back when
You weren?t thinking back then
Now were you
What really boggles my mind
How more and more you will find
I?m either too far ahead or you?re too far behind
You have to speed up to slow down time
