Closer Than Ever - The March of Time Lyrics
COMPANY:
Over educated
Under stimulated
Over optimistic
Under prepared
Over complicating
Non-co-operating
Hyperventilating
ALL:
Scared
And the days are numbered now
They tumble by with mounting speed
And my life's encumbered now
With things to pay for, fix, and feed
WOMEN:
And in my ear I hear a sound like distant drumming
MEN:
At first I think it's something in the plumbing...
ALL:
But, no, it's something I can't stop from coming...
Ah...ah...ah...
The march of time!
I wasn't ready for the burnouts
I wasn't ready for the jokes
I wasn't set for seeing cellulite
Or being parent to my folks
I never thought I'd go to parties
And order perrier with lime
I wasn't ready, nearly read
For the march of time
MAN 1:
Over-motivated, tightly calibrated
Major workaholic, son of a bitch
Tiger with the ladies
Born for a mercedes
And thanks to the eighties
Rich...
ALL:
Ah...ah...ah...
The march of time!
I wasn't ready to have inlaws
I wasn't set for things to pall
Or sex that's once a week
I'd kill for once a week
Or sex that isn't safe at all
I didn't know I had a prostrate
I didn't know I'd have a prime
I wasn't set to love the quickstep of
The march of, march of, march of, march of,
I wasn't ready for tuitions
Or finding boyfriends for my mom
Or friends who flip their lids
Or adolescent kids who've never heard of vietnam
I didn't know that having promise
Would get you ten cents for a dime
I wasn't taught to face the onslaught of
The march of, march of, march of
March of time!
WOMAN 2:
Teenage visionary, set itinerary
Got it all like clockwork, september bride
Future moving toward me
Husband who adored me
Then one awful night he...died.
And the days seem endless now
I feel my purpose all but gone
Though I'm hardly friendless now
Each night I think I can't go on
But in the corner of my I hear this pounding
(gotta move, gotta move along)
It's almost like I'm someone that's its hounding
(gotta move, move along, gotta move along)
No matter what I do it keeps resounding
ALL:
Ah...ah...ah...
I wasn't ready to keep moving
I wasn't ready for the dawn
Or learning pain can fade
Recoveries get made
No matter what, your life goes on
I didn't know that when you stumble
You get another chance to climb
I wasn't set for lives i'd never planned
With both feet firmly set on sand
The grand relentless drum beat and
The march of time!
