Lyrics
Running Out of Time
I remember chewing gum feeling static in the air
Fingers getting lost in the knots in my hair
Vast machines groaning wildly and angrily and slow
Doctors told me I was there once but I can't say if I know
They said that you were brave and our love was tender
They said I made an excellent procedural contender
Now I glide along the streets of New New York South
Past the businessmen and bartenders with no taste in my mouth
You were gentle, You were kind
You eased my wounded mind
But I am half, I'm full of holes
I'm running out of time
I catch myself glancing into mirrors all the time
And It just isn't me and it's all in my mind
But I only want to live though I struggle and I stall
Though this form isn't final I feel far from fine at all
You were gentle, You were kind
You eased my wounded mind
But I am half, I'm full of holes
I'm running out of time
