Album:

Trampin'

Here we go around again 
Curve of life spiraling
Everything we've ever known 
As the seed of life gets blown
And the miracle of time 
When will that time just end
Remember, you decide 
Take that vow
Grab that ring 
It's not a whim
Not a whim 
When you be cashing in


Try to turn your life around 
And all the things you do resound
And then you can't loose control 
Say your time has come and then
Hard to pinpoint find the seam 
Where that one time ends
Where that time begins 
Remember, you decide
Take that vow 
Take a stand
Grab that ring 
It's not a whim
It's not a whim 
It's only time
That you're cashing in


In the white noise of desire 
We can't hear a single thing
Floating round the fragile bough 
Afflictions of the human soul
Its beauty immaterial


You decide 
Stand along
The fallen ones 
Take revenge
Defeated sons 
Rend that coat
From seam to seam 
It's only time
It's only time 
That you spend
You spend 
It's only time
You spend 
Its only time
You spend 
It's only life
That you're cashing in
