  • That's what you say
    Does it really happen to you
    Does that explain
    This is the season for this display.
    To take a look
    In time to move together

    Time is the measure before it's begun
    Slips away like running water
    Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
    Heritage for sun and daughter
    Down to the slaughter up for the fun
    Up for anything

    Could this be true
    Does it ever happen to you
    And can you prove
    That wheels go 'round in reason
    You take a step
    In time,
    To move together

    Time is the measure before it's begun
    Slips away like running water
    Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
    Heritage for sun and daughter
    Down to the slaughter up for the fun
    Up for anything

    You walk, the way
    You take, the path
    To be, assured
    You draw, a graph
    The scale, you use
    Is all, on black
    Be brave, the weight
    Will make, the heat
    There is, no way
    To take it back

    Time is the measure before it's begun
    Slips away like running water
    Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
    Heritage for sun and daughter
    Down to the slaughter up for the fun
    Up for anything Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
