Time Machine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I may have been away, seeing the world

But stick with me girl, and

And I'll show you the world

And I'll show you the world

And I'll show you the world

And I'll show you the world

She looking up at me as I walk in the room,

She's stirrin' her tea kinda slow with a spoon,

A tear on the cheek, I aint seen her for weeks,

I ask her if she wants to walk on the moon

Then off to the theatre, with julius caesar,

Way before the tower started leaning of pisa,

Anywhere she wants, no we don't need a visa,

She said this is serious, I shouldn't tease her

Now I got my hands on her waist and I say

I'm not a rapper, I'm really a spaceman,

Taking you out of this world to a place that close to the sun,

You'll be needing your raybans

You wanna meet elvis, I'll take you to graceland,

I'll take you to egypt, you won't need your fake tan

And we can watch the pyramids build and just chill,

With a smile on her face and now she's packing a case

If I ever had a real chance to travel in a time machine, where would I go?

Probably wouldn't wanna see the past, 'cause all the memories are enough.

If I ever had a real chance to travel in a time machine, where would I go?

Though I know I'd probably be fine, I'd wanna see a future under the stars

So follow your dreams, that's what they told us

But when we were kids didn't listen to grown-ups,

Now that I'm grown up, I need to own up

Because I stopped dreaming as soon as she showed up

Thought that my life was complete when we shacked up,

But still you gotta dream with relationships wrapped up

Parcels passed, live for the future,

So let me travel back in time if it suits ya

You don't need to slow down, I gave you the lowdown

You can do the opposite as everyone goes round,

Ali and frasier be there for the showdown,

See michael jackson, billie jean at the motown

We can do it all if you need to,

Sit by my side, gimme time and I'll please you, please do

True, you aint seen nothing yet,

The more I can show you the older we get, yep

If I ever had a real chance to travel in a time machine, where would I go?

Probably wouldn't wanna see the past, 'cause all the memories are enough.

If I ever had a real chance to travel in a time machine, where would I go?

Though I know I'd probably be fine, I'd wanna see a future under the stars

Please don't chase the past, stay for the future,

'Cos I know where we're going

Please don't chase the past, stay for the future,

'Cos I know where we're going

Please don't chase the past, stay for the future,

'Cos I know where we're going

Please don't chase the past, stay for the future,

'Cos I know where we're going
