lyrics

In Forward Time:

Honey, we gotta get up off the F Train
We gotta get above the surface
Make sure no one heard us
Make sure no one saw us running

Money won’t even get us to the river
They’re blocking every road to cross the country
Will we make our home like a home should be?
With no one tracking us or the dreams we see?

Baby you gotta help me off this F Train
They’re coming down the stairs, I know
I can feel the freeze
Of riot gear and guns for the rebel teens
We need to escape where we can’t be seen

In Reverse Time:

Please, dear make me ill
Make self esteem
She lives here forever
We both fight and hate the others

Leave, but if you pack
You'll never recognize me my friend
This track's in my inner head
Well Hear me

Please, dear leave your home
Softly as no other
We heed to the strong word
Having more clout than we would

We used to love other songs
Turned with all my record players
Have they foresaken me for the key home?

Some wars bore no shame
Some have told other halves, but no new shame
Suffer more or less or
Suffer again like you
Me, I've struck gold
But I like it like you, Dorthea
