Porcupine Tree

Time Flies

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

'Cause 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

'Cause 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

'Cause time flies

And the coat your wore to Alton Towers

It's still the way I see you now
