So the clockworks shine
Reminding us of time left
Greatest theft
The time you get is what you get

What you're looking for
It may not be what you get
All these numbers and regrets
Left alone, suffocating

On the dirtiest backstreets
You're no more discreet
You pick up the pieces

All you touch turns to dust
And the armours are rusty
No feast for her eyes

On the dirtiest of backstreets
You're no more discreet
You pick up the axis

Now you do 'make believe'
As you're working on a dream
Like the force of the rivers
And the colds of the wind
Sit back, let it strike - let the dirt take you in
Like shiny green apples, just turning it

That old moon in the night skies
And the mysteries high
Find a way to get by

So there's venom and lies
Now they're franchising 'crises'
All a promise at grand old prices
So the doorway is never that far away

Now you do 'make believe'
As you're working on a dream
Like the force of the rivers
And the colds of the wind
Sit back, let it strike - let love take you in
Like shiny green apples in a brand new skin
I'm a believer in time the great healer

Seen the people, seen the goodwill

I'm a believer in time the great healer
Seen the rivers of gold and of silver
I'm a believer in time the great healer
I've seen the rivers of gold and silver
