I guess I imagined them myself when no one was looking  And even though the words came from my pen  As yet I haven't the meaning  Vex me not in truth or lie  By cross and fish or dove  Someone's keeping secrets here  And it feels like an inside job  Maybe if I tried just a little bit harder    Oh, time and wasted bullets  Oh, we tried    Maybe if I could escape through one more night  I would then feel at home    But looking again revealed a pole hanging a serpent  One hundred years flew by in a moment  And all was unimportant  Will you question who I am?  Would you counter these perceptions?  I don't claim to have the answers here  But I can give you directions  But even when I try just a little bit harder    Oh, time and wasted bullets  Oh, we tried    Maybe if I could escape through one more night  I would then feel at home  I said please let me try just to wait through one more night  Maybe then I'd be home    Oh, time and wasted bullets  Oh, and nothing here is as it should be  Oh, in time we'll make it through this  Oh, in time    Maybe if I could escape through one more night  I would then feel at home  I said please let me try just to wait through one more night  Maybe then I'd be home
