  • I know what time is, Time is a thief
    It'll steal into bed and rob
    You while you sleep and You'll never feel it
    It pulls off the covers
    And rifles through your head
    Then you'll wait to find you can't
    Remember what you just said
    It happens to everyone
    Just like the father of my father
    Time stole his mind
    And I can't forget that one-fourth
    Of his blood is mine i try not to worry

    Please don't come for me
    I promise I'll be great
    Just let me keep what's mine
    (let me keep what's mine)
    Please don't come for me
    If you must then just please wait
    And let me have some time
    (let me have some time)
    Please don't come for me mind over matter
    (it don't matter) when you're as
    Mad as a hatter

    It's hard to draw a clear distinction
    Who you are, who you were
    Through the looking glass
    The past and future begin to blur
    And no-one can blame you
    Well they say the world is what you make it
    You think, speak and breathe
    And those rules still apply
    Stuck in a world of make believe
    You make the best with what you're given

    Please don't come for me
    I promise I'll be great
    Just let me keep what's mine
    (let me keep what's mine)
    Please don't come for me
    If you must then just please wait
    And let me have some time
    (let me have some time)
    Please don't come for me mind over matter
    (it don't matter) when you're as
    Mad as a hatter

    Off with her head, off with her head
