Lyrics
Time Flies
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 was born in '67
The year of Sgt. Pepper
And Are You Experienced?
Into a suburb of heaven
Yeah, it should've been forever
It all seems to make so much sense
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cuz time flies
She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while
She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cuz time flies
And laughing under summer showers
Is still the way I see you now
How does time break down
With no marker, things slow down.
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged
I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
But I'm not sure where to start
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar?
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cuz time flies
And the coat your wore to Alton Towers
It's still the way I see you now
