From the recording Hastings End
Lyrics
OUT OF TIME
Just out of sight
Just out of mind
Just beyond reach
Just out of Time
They tempt you with a secret
The scene will captivate you
Lead you down the twisted
Garden path to danger
A smooth deduction willed it
They saw a man together
With vision apparatus
That they provided to you
(They’ll send you on a high
But you won’t buy it
Until it’s got you)
Behind the garden fence they
stare so waxy and, uh...
The word’s essential essence
beneath their tongue it scattered
They soar like mad in rhythm
But did they move the fire?
Between the gears it rusted
And then fiddled right through you
An iron forest myth will
Heave the dream asunder
The frantic crush will bare you
Elaboration chain you
Just out of sight
Just out of mind
Just beyond reach
Just out of Time
