Traveling Time

I stormed the scene in a limousine
Left in an ambulance
I was sittin' pretty 'til I prayed to the city
And I never stood a chance

Held as tight as I could stand
Until I had an itch

Traveling time
Traveling time
Traveling time

The way things were, I was damn near sure
I'd be dead by 23
And I never considered I'd survive my liver
Just to worry about my knees

Sticks and stones might break my bones
But time undoes us all

Traveling time
Traveling time
Traveling time

The truth is lava
I'll lie on the couch
Gotta get some shut-eye somehow
Still, it's colder now

I remember mid-September (traveling time)
Watching trains at seventeen (traveling time)
Gift to Quietus, the queen (Traveling time)
Dreams consigned (traveling time)
Three centennials of seasons (traveling time)
Here it comes (traveling time)
