Mr. Time Lyrics - Try Anything Once - Alan Parsons

Stealing a moment from Mr. Time 

He rocks in his chair like a shiny dime 

But it's all for show, all for show. 

Wearing your name and a number or two 

When the minute's up, so are you 

But everybody knows, everybody knows. 

Watching the hour from the light in his eyes, 

He waits for your soul to come in from the sky 

But it's lost below, lost below. 

Turning the Wheel of your destiny round, 

When the motion stops - no more sound, 

Does anybody care, anybody care. 

Where's the man, where's the child 

Wrapped together side by side. 

Who can tell you what to do, 

When Mr. Time has come for you. 

See the truth, hear the lies, 

Can there be no compromise 

And who can tell you what they knew, 

When Mr. Time has come for you. 

Is it a feeling of deja vu? 

When he points his finger calling you 

Is it illusion? Just an illusion 

Picking up seconds that fall to his feet 

He blows them away as rocks on his seat, 

Cool as his smile, his smile. 

Where's the man, where's the child 

Wrapped together side by side. 

Who can tell you what to do, 

When Mr. Time has come for you 

See the truth, hear the lies, 

Can there be no compromise 

And who can tell you what they knew, 

When Mr. Time has come for you.
