Playing for Time (In-Side Mix)

[Part I]

[Verse 1]

Far, far away, out amongst the stars

There’s a planet spinning slowly, we call it ours

Any time, any day

Any moment that we bring to life will never fade away

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, all the moments come and go

While the memories ebb and flow

And play again, play again

Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb

Climb through all the mists of time

It’s all in here what we’ve been through

[Chorus]

Down, I’m getting it down

Sorting it out

So everything I care about

Is held in here

All of those I love, inside

Everybody’s playing for time

You and I still playing for time

[Verse 2]

There goes the sun, back from where it came

The young move to the center, the mom and dad, the frame

Any space, any time

Any moment that we bring to life, ridiculous, sublime

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, all the moments come and go

While the memories ebb and flow

And play again, play again

Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb

Climb through all these mists of time

It’s all in here what we’ve been through

[Chorus]

Down, getting it down

Sorting it out

So everything I care about

Is held in here

All of those I love, inside

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The future shines a sunny day

Unpacked memories stored away

All the while, the clock keeps ticking

You and I still playing for time

[Part II]

[Verse 3]

One by one the voices silenced for they know that time will tell

It’s time that wears the crown and time that rings the bell

All cards on the table, all hands are down

Everybody’s playing for time

Everyone’s still playing for time

[Verse 4]

Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock

Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock

No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock

They’re all too busy playing for time

Everybody’s playing for time

You and I still playing for time
