Dreamtigers - Keep Time lyrics

How'd we get here, my old friend? The walls in this hospital keep twisting again And our pendulum puts these numbers on beat How'd we get here from where we were? Keep time, as we grow old Fortified by panels, every morning it plays any song And those little green numbers kept marching on Past when I started that new job In '82 or '83 when it was still just us Keep time, as we grow old Nobody ever writes down happy endings Not to say this wouldn't make for a good story- Lord knows we've had our share of grief But still- this belongs in the space beyond the page Keep time
