Title: How To Build A Time Machine

Lyrics How To Build A Time Machine

If I have understood correctly
Velocity equals the distance traveled divided by time.
I've read every word ever printed on quantum physics
Now it is time to try
I read your book
I found your notes
I dusted this thing off and turned on the key
The rumbling motors
The buzzing
Incredible gadgets,
The hissing electricity

And now, the moment has come.
I'm traveling back in time.

(Chorus)
They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop!
But I don't think so
I'm ready to go
Let's get the job done

Beyond the Paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Past the Planes and Trains and Satellite Navigation
Past the time I've spent today
Through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball of white light
That explodes and lands on you.

And you're five
Always running away when I was dying to kiss you
And I, I don't want to cry
I don't want to see where the moving van takes you
So I travel on
Beyond the stars
At one hundred and eighty six thousand miles per seconds I can fly
Forward a few years to Nineteen hundred and seventy nine
I caught a glimpse of the sky

They're coming down the road
They're coming to get me
I never should have come
I hide the time machine
I'm running down the hall
I think I'm in my own house

Past the place where I grew up
Number Nine Lale Road
Past the swimming pool
And marble park
And past Troy Clifford's house
To the to the argonaut
To the fish and chip Shop
Out the back and down the road
To the place I got beat up

Hey! Put That Rock Down!
Can't you see he's half your size
Hey! He looks familiar
Oh My God it's me, age nine
Put your shoes on and
Run away from here
I can't get involved
This is all so weird
I am meeting myself
This is all so clear

All the things I lost. All the people I hurt
All the times I lied. All the moments wasted
All I never did. All the dreams I had
All the things I would change. I can change
All the things i lost. All the people I hurt
All the times I lied. All the moments wasted

I'm gonna make right what I did wrong
And change how the future has gone
Through the appliance of science I'll take hold
Of my enemies. Take their obscenities,
Kiss them and leave them like lovers who have gone.
I'll call my dad and tell him I miss him,
And tell my reflection is not your fault.

And now the moment has come.
I'm traveling back in time.

They're running down the hall
I've started the countdown
They want me to stop, but I don't think so
I'm ready to let go. Lets get the job done.

Put your shoes on and run away from here,
I can't get involved this is all so weird.

Oh my God! It's me, age nine
Let's get the job done

All the things I lost. All the people I hurt
All the times I lied. All the moments wasted
All I never did. All the dreams I had
All the things I would change. I can change

Beyond the Paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling
Past the Planes and Trains and Satellite Navigation
Past the time I spent today through the nearest wormhole
In a stunning ball of white light explodes into another moment.
