This is how time hides its tricks up its sleeves,
Makes you game in a beat,
Turns you prey to the theives.
And this is how you imagined it to be,
Looking down on your face,
And kicking you in the knees.
And this is how time hides its tricks up its sleeve,
Makes the birds and the bees,
Sing along to the beat.
And this is how i imagined it to be,
With a fake melody,
And a promise to see.
And I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
And no,
I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go.
And you are not alone,
We are all a show,
Innovation and applause,
Circus rings and oh,
We are all a joke,
There is no escaping time,
Let's play the story out.
Let's play the story out.
And this is how time hides tricks up its sleeve,
Lets you fall in love,
Drama kings and queens.
And this is how I imagined it to be,
With the blink of an eye,
I am seventy three.
And this is how they all see us now,
All worn down and out,
Like paper weights,
Fickle masks,
The game is all but over.
And I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Oh,
And I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go.
And you are not alone,
We are all a show,
Innovation and applause,
Circus rings and oh,
We are all a joke,
There is no escaping time,
Let's play the story out.
Let's play the story out.
And this is how time hides tricks up its sleeve,
Lets you fall in love,
Drama kings and queens.
And this is how I imagined it to be,
With the blink of an eye,
I am seventy three.
And I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Oh,
And I won't let this go,
Won't let this go,
Won't let this go.
And you are not alone,
We are all a show,
Innovation and applause,
Circus rings and oh,
We are all a joke,
There is no escaping time,
Let's play the story out.
