The King of Time

Ted Leo And The Pharmacists


As I was flowing on St. Ide's, 
my tongue got tied up ooh-seven times, 
and every signified took on seventy signs, 
like everyone has ooh-several lives. 

And all the wonderful words you speak! 
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh! 
And the dangerous company uh-you keep -- 
where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support! 

So "when I get to troubles with language," 
well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly. 
And I'm on a mission to recognize 
this context we create in linear time. 

And all the wonderful words you use! 
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-woah. 
And the desperate company uh-you choose -- 
where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so! 

Like, is what you say what you say, aside 
from the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes? 
And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives? 
And would I then be the King of Time?
