I can't tell if this is real or if I am sleeping

I'll embroider the truth in that so I shall reap

I took things that didn't belong to me

I didn't mean to do you wrong


Looking back on all that stolen time (stolen time)

Back when I was drinking (turpentine)

Don't blame me I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all it will ever be (ever be)

Just an accident of chemistry


You did everything to me but stopped short of murder

Couldn't move me much closer to keeping my word

While the crowds threw stones at the hangman

The sky fell down, the bells rang


Looking back on all that stolen time (stolen time)

Back when I was drinking (turpentine)

Don't blame me I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all that it will ever be (ever be)

Just an accident of chemistry


In the shaft of an underground railway

A paid assassin with a ??? in a sack

?????????

Swallow the river running under the track

Under the track yeah ???


I can't tell if I'm dreaming or if I'm awaking

With a song in my heart that is longing to break

Let it out and let it fly high

Up where the spires scrape the sky


Looking back on all that stolen time (stolen time)

Back when I was drinking (turpentine)

Don't blame me I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all that it will ever be (ever be)

Just an accident of history

Yeah


In the shaft of an underground railway

A cute assassin with a hunk in a sack

?????????

Swallow the river running under the track

That's right
