Central Reservation (Original version)

[Verse 1]

Running down to central reservation in last night's red dress

And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath

Stepping through brilliant shades of the colour you bring

This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean

[Verse 2]

If this is where memories are made, I'm gonna like what I see

And everything I ever took for granted, I'm gonna let it be

I step through every shade of the colour you bring

But this time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean

[Chorus]

And everything and nothing

Is as sacred as we'd want it to be

When it's real, make it real

Compared to what

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]

It's like living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past

And everything that's good about now, well, might just glide right past

I'm stepping through brilliant shades of the colour you bring

This time, this time, this time is fine just as it is

[Chorus]

And everything is sacred here

And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be

When it's real

Compared to what

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Ad-libs and scat singing]
