lyrics

I’m laughing at time as
time’s laughing at me
signs are everywhere
but not one I can read

no way to know if I’m who I should be
every escape route leads back to me
so I’m floating in space and laughing at time

if a god made me I’d be perfect I’d never get things wrong
but I’m making it up as I go along

I’m making it up as I go along
hanging from the words of a stranger’s song
floating in space and laughing at time
waltzing the tightrope trail that is mine
I’m living through time as
time is living through me

I’m making it up
by working it out
not waiting for love to save me

I’ll be making it up til my lips slip from the cup
I’ll be making it up as I go along
