From time to time
The tables turn
You cross a line
And get your fingers burn
Suddenly is a new situation

From day to day
Dot to dot
Case to case
'Til the cord is cut
Suddenly is a new situation

Everybody wants to believe they hold a
Ticket to the train to the promised land
Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie
One day I woke from a dream
On a rocket coming back from another planet
Don't think I'm ever gonna understand
Why

Nothing is what it use to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery?
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation
From A to Z
Through and through
The destiny
I thought I knew
Suddenly is an open ending

I learnt the tricks
I did the time
My eyes have a-fixed
On the finishing line
All it is, is a new beginning

Everybody dreams of a happy-ever-after
And gold at the rainbow's end
Everybody wants to believe it ain't no lie
Everybody wants the machine to
Run faster, faster out of hand
I don't think I'm ever gonna understand
Why

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery?
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation
Oh…. Yeah…Oh…

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and I'm his patient
I don't know what he's done to me
A gentle push or brain surgery?
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation

Nothing is what it used to be
These white walls are all new to me
Time is the doctor and we're his patients
I don't know what he'll do to us
But things will change, I know that much
It's gonna take some imagination
This new situation
