This Is Our Time

It was hot, moon hung heavy

All bloodshot in shimmering skies

I walk down cross city streets

As you walk down and hear the cries

Honky tank player playing drunk piano

The rhythm is the rhyme

As the rhyme is the reason

To this feeling

Beats repeating

And the rhyme is the rhythm

As the rhythm is the meaning

To this feeling

This is our time

Behind those steamy shivering windows

A whole world rides and survives

Where dreams pour out of bottles

And hope shoulder in forgotten ashtrays

She walks in and smoke fills your eyes

The rhythm is the rhyme

As the rhyme is the reason

To this feeling

Beats repeating

And the rhyme is the rhythm

As the rhythm is the meaning

To this feeling

This is our time

Catch the last train

Crazy river calling

We gotta go down

Wash away this fever

Take a drive

Through the pouring rain

We got to wash away

This fever

It's the rhythm that's the rhyme

As the rhyme is the reason

To this feeling

Beats repeating

It's the rhythm that's the rhyme

And the rhyme that's the reason

To this feeling

It's the rhythm that's the rhyme

And the rhyme that's the reason

To this feeling

Beats repeating

It's the rhythm that's the rhyme

And the rhyme that's the reason

To this feeling

Beats repeating

It's the rhythm that's the rhyme

And the rhyme that's the reason

For this feeling

Our time
