All the Time

I was walking for hours, didn't seem to be getting anywhere Then I was pacing 'round my room like a caged-up circus bear Then I was walking down your road with a thousand-yard stare in my head Now I'm sitting in line with the paupers and the millionaires My begging bowl ready to get my share And I can't quite work out if I'm alive or if I'm dead And all the posts kept moving as we got older And all the cash I saved so hard got spent And all the days I pissed away are over And I can't remember where they went Now the young ones move forward 'cause they didn't do anything And the old ones at the back are given folding chairs And the ones in the middle with me spread out blankets and sit on the ground And the world splays out before us like pieces of a jigsaw I see people down there acting like there's nothing to fear And as loud as I shout to them, I can't seem to get myself heard And all the lust that burned so hot got colder And all the rules that didn't break got bent And all the days I pissed away are over And I can't remember where they went Won't somebody tell me, where did all the time go? Won't somebody tell me, where did all the time go? Now the line is moving slowly, so I'll take a little wander The lady from the car crash can keep my place So I'm walking down your road with a thousand-yard stare in my head Well, it wasn't hard to find you; your routine changes rarely You plod with good intentions through time and space But I've seen the line dividing—one left, one right—in the queue way up ahead And all the things I ever held important Are now the things I hold most in contempt But all the time I could call mine is over And I can't remember where it went Won't somebody tell me, where did all the time go? Won't somebody tell me, where did all the time go?
