Joel Plaskett Emergency - Time Flies lyrics

Time flies, it’s moving fast
Shanghai’d into the past
One look, into the looking glass
There is no turning back

Look now you’re losing power
All the money in the bank
Couldn’t buy you another hour
If we watch, you will devour
Everything in your path

Now you want us all to reminisce
Of a time that does not exist
Fat cats in a thin disguise
Staring straight into your X-Ray eyes
All your calls have been returned
While we were walking ‘cross
The bridge you burned
Do you really wanna read my
Do you really wanna read my mind?
Oh, my memory’s gonna strike you
Yeah, my memory’s gonna strike you blind
Do you really wanna close your
Do you really wanna close your eyes?
Time flies

Time flies, and then just stands still
You’ll need one cheaper thrill
Until you find another way to kill
Everything in your path

Now you want us all to sing along
To the only Carly Simon song
Staring straight into the vanity
Beyond the valley of your sanity
All your dolls have come and gone
Where were you when the lights came on?
