Mr. Time Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

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 sounds 

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 

An' there be no compromise 

Who can tell you what they knew? 

When Mr.Time has come for you 

When Mr.Time has come for you 

Is it a feeling or deja vu? 

When he points his finger callin' you 

Is it illusion? Just an illusion 

Pickin' up seconds that fall to his feet 

He blows them away as he rocks in 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 

Who can tell you what they knew? 

When Mr.Time has come for you 

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 

Who can tell you what they knew? 

When Mr.Time has come for you 

When Mr.Time has come for you
