The world looks far too different from this corner of the room
I can feel the wind is changing as my mind starts to consume
You know we're going nowhere
So what have we got to lose this time
And I want you to know this
The minutes go by and you know I just can't resist
The first few hours pass by
Keep in time with the hourglass
Keep in time with the hourglass
The future's worth it's weight in gold
If you're all in, then I won't fold
The big hand edges closer as the lightning strikes my mind
A chorus of excuses as the back door slams behind
You know we're going nowhere
So what have we got to lose this time
And I want you to know this
The minutes go by and you know I just can't resist
The first few hours pass by
Keep in time with the hourglass
Keep in time with the hourglass
The future's worth it's weight in gold
If you're all in, then I won't fold
Keep in time with the hourglass
Keep in time with the hourglass
Keep in time with the hourglass
Keep in time with the hourglass
