///  x2
 There was a man  that knew too  much
 With a panic  attic mind but a
 A chance to numb  his golden  touch
 To ignore  the will of time
 Had me struck  down open  to the fact
 I was standing  in a line with a
Broken  occu--pation  on my back
Time  is not
 
 moment
 We're letting  slip away
 There's nothing  left to say
 It's changing  everyday
 The way
 I'm thinking
 In diffferent  shades of grey
 It's not  enough to say
 This is my  love
 Repeat Intro
 Oh
 He had the anti-midas touch
 Temporary  state of mind but a
 A chance to die  enhances growth
 Now I'm trembling  all the time
 Stumble round  making faces  on the
Scene!  Scene?
What?  What!?
 Stumble round
 Make your faces  on your own!
Time  is not
 
 moment
 We're letting  slip away
 There's nothing  left to say
 It's changing  everyday
 The way
 I'm thinking
 In diffferent  shades of grey
 It's not  enough to say
 This is my  love
 I'm not your mockingbird
 That sings your cellar song
 She got a paper run
 You're compensated
 Can we all  gather round  on the scene?
 Can we all  move a----round  on our own?
 Are ya
 A mover, shaker  all alone
Time  is not
 
 moment
 We're letting  slip away
 There's nothing  left to say
 It's changing  everyday
 The way
 I'm thinking
 In different  shades of grey
 It's not  enough to say
 Ahh, time  is not
 
 moment
 We're letting  slip away
 There's nothing  left to say
 But this is my  love
 Woohoo
 I'm not your mockingbird  (woohoo)
 That sings your cellar song  (woohoo)
 She got a paper run  (woohoo)
 To write your letters wrong  (woohoo)
Ahh  ahh
Woohoo
Ahh  ahh
 x7
Woohoo
