Old Mister Time
He looked funny The children called him the scarecrow An old raincoat And baggy trousers and sneakers he found at the dump Oh, but if you bothered to look There was something behind the rags Oh there was a look in his eyes It was something you'd never forget
He lived badly A broken shack on the railway An old moggy The only one who replied When he talked to the walls Oh we didn't understand We were fooled by the dirt on his face Oh we were human then We were searching behind his disgrace
Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone
You're never gonna realise When all you do is criticise You're never gonna make it work You never seem to get enough You crumble when its getting rough You're never gonna make it work Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm tellin' you there'll come a day You're gonna blow yourselves away It's wrong that I should interfere I just get in the way
Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone
Deep into the night He was working by the light of the candle by his bed on the theory in his head He was building from the junk that he rescued from the dump And when he turned the power on There was a sound and he was gone
Oh in the gray of the dawn We discovered the thing he was working on Oh we didn't understand The future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....) Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....) Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....)
