Time is Not Your Friend

And time she starts off curious, claiming she's your friend
In the morning, she's an angel, but a devil half past ten
And time she will betray you as the slow knife takes its turn
And life will streak right past you, while you watch the sunsets burn

And love's the only strength you find
Love's the only peace of mind
And love is not your enemy, and time is not your friend
Love is not a good idea, love is a command
Because love's the only wound that heals and cures you in the end
And love's the only dream that's real and love is knowing him, knowing him

Time she makes you cautious as the eyes that winked now squint
And the bones you've never broken still betray you in the end
And time, she makes you furious, and time, she won't repent
And time, she'll always makes you change, but she won't give back a cent

When everything is over outside her, you will stand
And see the beauty that she be, she was and always is
But for now she is a mistress, it's not her nature to forgive
She's the unashamed adulteress, you swear she'll never quit

All the walk, it slows, the back, it moans
The world, it groans as time goes on
The end is clear, the night draws near
No need to fear, 'cause all will hear

Oh, and love's the only strength you find
Love's the only peace of mind
And love is not your enemy and time is not your friend
Love is not a good idea, love is a command
Because love's the only wound that heals and cures you in the end
And love's the only dream that's real and love is knowing him, knowing him, yeah
Na-ni-na, na-ni-na, na-ni-na-na
Na-ni-na, na-ni-na, na-ni-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
