How To Build A Time Machine
If I have understood correctly, Velocity equals the distance travelled, Divided by time. I've read every word ever printed On quantum physics, And now it is time to try. I read your book, I found your notes. I dusted this thing off and turned on the key. The rumbling motors, the buzzing- Incredible gadgets, the hissing electricity. And now, the moment has come. I'm travelling back in time.
They're running down the hall- (I've started the countdown.) They want me to stop- (But I don't think so.) I'm ready to go- (Let's get the job done.)
Beyond the paradoxical, All the lights are dazzling. Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation. Past the time I spent today, Through the nearest wormhole. In a stunning ball of white, The light explodes and lands on you.
And you're five- Always running away When I was dying to kiss you, And I- I don't want to cry. I don't want to see Where the moving van takes you, So I travel on. Beyond the stars- At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second, I can fly- Forward a few years, To nineteen hundred and seventy-nine- I caught a glimpse of the sky.
And they're coming down the road- (They're coming to get me.) I never should have come- (I hide the time machine.) I'm running down the hall- (I think I'm in my old house.)
Past the place where I grew up- Number nine Lake Road. Past the swimming pool, And Mable park, And past Troy Clifford's house. To the Argonaut- To the fish and chip shop. Out the back and down the road- And to the place I got beat up.
Hey, put that rock down! Can't you see he's half your size? Hey, he looks familiar- Oh my God, it's me, aged nine. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Put your shoes on, And run away from here. I can't get involved- This is all so weird. I'm meeting myself- This is all so clear.
All the things I lost, All the people I hurt. All the times I lied, All the moments wasted. All I never did, All the dreams I had. All the things I would change- I can change them.
All the things I lost, All the people I hurt. All the times I lied, All the moments wasted.
I'm gonna make right what I did wrong And change how the future has gone- Through appliance of science. I'll take a hold of my enemies, Take their obscenities- Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone. I'll call my dad- I'll tell him I miss him, And tell my reflection, 'It's not your fault.' And now, the moment has come- I'm traveling back in time.
They're running down the hall- (I've started the countdown.) They want me to stop- (But I don't think so.) I'm ready to go- (Let's get the job done.)
Put your shoes on, and Run away from here- I can't get involved,
Let's get the job done.
All the things I lost, All the people I hurt. All the times I lied, All the moments wasted. All I never did, All the dreams I had. All the things I would change- I can change them. Beyond the paradoxical, All the lights are dazzling. Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation. Past the time I spent today, Through the nearest wormhole. In a stunning ball of white, The light explodes into another moment.
