Love is just a nanosecond away
Hell, how come I never catch up – come I never catch up with her ?
My time-machine’s stuck on yesterday
When every atom in my tissues cried out for a lover, for a lover
Last time we made love was Antiquity,
People watching as I died in an arena, her body surrounding me,
Lost in her throes, her claws and jaws, her paws,
The lioness’s share forwarding me to overdose
Chorus :
Speed of sound is still too still too still for you, you still look still so still so still,
The way you move is ill unreal, the way you deal with me is killing me
The speed of light is oh so slow is way too slow to show the way you blow away
The way you wave and sway you save my day and say to me you’re killing me
Oo-ooh,
Fast-Forward girl
Next…
Chorus
Next time we made love was 1984
The war had ceased, then broke out for a decade or more
Behind the screen, an army of Big Brothers
Officially scripted all our gestures
First time we’ll meet is still to come
She sent me back to the timeline where I was from
I have to mend this machine of mine or I’ll never get to this girl on time.
In time.
