You wear it like a skin

This impatience burns within

You've lit the fires well

Time waits for no man



You think you're getting in

You've invested everything

Your patience knows not how

Time waits for no man nor me,

Baby, time waits for no man nor me



Your reach has grown long

Lines are stretched and skin is drawn

you never could see why

time waits for no man



With skin no longer thin

Become accustomed to the din

Of those you've stood upon

Time waits for no man.



Time waits for no man

Waits for no man, baby

Time waits for no man

Waits for no man, nor me.



Salvation lurks within

If you could hold it in your hand

But you're a leper now

Time waits for no man



You wear it like a skin

Disease has taken everything

You've learned your lessons well

Time waits for no man nor me, baby,

time waits for no man nor me, baby



Time waits for no man...etc
