A life to call our own

That is ours alone

Is as hard as hell to come by these days

Time that I took what's mine, took it now



Things aren't what they where, they're what they are

There's no time of our own



And the devil you know is the only one



Is time too fast for us to grasp something of our own?

The ghost of the past has its arms around me

It moves everywhere in all I hear and see



And the devil you know is the only one



Look at you now, look at you then, see how you will be

All of your life belongs to me



Things aren't what they where, they're what they are

There's no time of our own



And the devil you know is the only one
