Peter Gabriel - Playing for Time (In-Side Mix) lyrics

Far, far away out amongst the stars
There’s a planet spinning slowly
We call it ours any time, any day
Any moment that we bring to life
Will never fade away

Oh, all the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
And play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb through all the mists of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through

Down, I’m getting it down sorting it out
So everything I care about is held in here
All of those I love, inside
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time

There goes the sun back from where it came
The young move to the center
The mom and dad, the frame
Any space, any time
Any moment that we bring to life
Ridiculous, sublime

Oh, all the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
And play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb through all these mists of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through

Down, getting it down sorting it out
So everything I care about is held in here
All of those I love, inside

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh ooh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh ooh

The future shines a sunny day
Unpacked memories stored away
All the while, the clock keeps ticking
You and I still playing for time

One by one the voices silenced
For they know that time will tell
It’s time that wears the crown
And time that rings the bell
All cards on the table all hands are down
Everybody’s playing for time
Everyone’s still playing for time
Looking for a flicker in the
Face of the clock hidden in the mountain
In the body of the rock
No one seems to notice or
To feel the aftershock
They’re all too busy playing for time
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
