lyrics

Not in time
To follow the current
Not in time
To follow the river
A life sublime
And unencumbered
By this polluted flow

Hoods and studs are eyeing
The figure of this
She who's never toying
For an empty kind of sign
From every eye

If it's decent it gets done
A standard set safe for everyone
With friends flying off ad nauseam
Firmly planted in the bedrock of their hometown

A careless saunter in
And fortified
Beating on the skins
Later I thought I'd never walk again
But rose to the occasion
I've always wanted to be
Wading for you
I've always been
Waiting for you

Not in time
To want to follow the current
Not in time
To want to follow that river
You're sublime
And unencumbered
By this polluted flow

I'd climb this hill again
If you'd deign to be
A Jill just for my Jim

And if apocalypse begins
And it's all encumbered again
By this polluted flow
And an empty sign
Will be all there all there is

All there is
All there is
All there is
