Time Tinkering

I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
Gonna make everything fine

I know if I move fast, I can slow it down a little
But I need to go back decades, this won't be simple
I made a Time Machine
So, I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
(Tink-tink-tinkering with time)
(Gonna make everything fine)

I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
Gonna make everything fine
I'm tink-tink-tinkering

I set my sights on pre-birth, but, no
The time machine stayed still
I tried for when I was four
Suddenly, I'm standing at my old bedroom door

I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
Going to make everything fine
Tink-tink-tinkering

I saw myself playing with dolls on a floor
No one about
I knocked, the young me looked up
She smiled and asked me to play
I sat and listened to her chat away
I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
Going to make everything fine

I told her who I was
She seemed to understand
I gave her a rock
She held it in her hand
I took her for a ride and
I showed her what could be
If she listened and followed my instructions to the T

Tink-tink-tinkering
Tink-tink-tinkering
Tink-tink-tinkering
I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
Going to make everything fine

I'm tink-tink-tinkering with time
I'm gonna make everything fine

Suddenly, I'm back in my time
I don't think there's any change
Then I turn around, there's many aged versions of me
With their hands clenching that same damn rock
No!
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
So many me's
With that same damn rock
With that same damn rock

No!
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't go tink-tink-tinkering with time
It won't make everything fine
Don't go, go tink-tink-tinkering with time
I'm no longer tink-tink-tinkering
I'm no longer tink-tink-tinkering

I'm no longer
Tink-tink-tinkering with time
I'm no longer tink-tink-tinkering
Tinkering with time
Tinkering with time
