Porcupine Tree Lyrics
"Time Flies"

I was born in '67
the year of Sgt. Pepper
and Are You Experienced.

Into a summer 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.
'Cuz time flies.

She said luck is what 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 and smile.

But after a while
you realize time flies.
And the best thing that you can do
is take whatever comes to you.
'Cuz time flies.

And laughing in the summer showers
that's 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 Im not sure it's time.

You see there's something wrong here,
I'm sorry if I'm not clear,
Can you stop smoking your cigar.
