[Verse 1] [Spoken Word] [Dry Vocal] I came to hospital one day And never planned to stop right there I only meant to pass this way It seems I missed my turn somewhere [Chorus] [Dynamic Shift] [Theatrical Belting] [Passionate Chanson] They call her Time, that careless girl She flows, she flies, she rolls right back That fickle girl, she's off the track She laid me here in this white bed And wanders off somewhere instead [Verse 2] [Tempo Drop] [Sardonic] She barges in without a knock Sometimes she flows, sometimes she flies She spins the hands of every clock She does exactly as she likes [Chorus] [Dynamic Shift] [Passionate] She flows, she flies, she rolls right back That fickle girl, she's off the track She laid me here in this white bed And wanders off somewhere instead [Verse 3] [Violin Solo] [Orchestra Swell] [Verse 3 Vocal] [Wry Smile] [Conversational] And lying here with my own flu I noticed something quite absurd That Time herself was sickly too She sneezed and everything reversed [Chorus] [Dynamic Shift] [Crescendo] She flows, she flies, she rolls right back That fickle girl, she's off the track She laid me here in this white bed And wanders off somewhere instead [Verse 4] [Music fades to solo piano] [Deadpan] So now I know what's going on That fickle girl, she made me see But knowing doesn't help me on She wanders off, and here stays me [Outro] [Grand Finale] [Melodramatic Operatic] They call her Time, that careless girl She flows, she flies, she rolls right back That fickle girl, she's off the track She laid me here in this white bed And left me here... [Whisper] ...already dead. [End]
