I guess I imagined them myself when no one was looking   And even though the words came from my pen   As yet I haven't the meaning   Vex me not in truth or lie   By cross and fish or dove   Someone's keeping secrets here   And it feels like an inside job   Maybe if I tried just a little bit harder      Oh, time and wasted bullets   Oh, we tried      Maybe if I could escape through one more night   I would then feel at home      But looking again revealed a pole hanging a serpent   One hundred years flew by in a moment   And all was unimportant   Will you question who I am?   Would you counter these perceptions?   I don't claim to have the answers here   But I can give you directions   Even if I try just a little bit harder      Oh, time and wasted bullets   Oh, we tried      Maybe if I could escape through one more night   I would then feel at home   I said please let me try just to wait through one more night   Maybe then I'd be home      Oh, time and wasted bullets   Oh, and nothing here is as it should be   Oh, in time we'll make it through this   Oh, in time      Maybe if I could escape through one more night   I would then feel at home   I said please let me try just to wait through one more night   Maybe then I'd be home
