lyrics

ONLY TIME WILL TELL
So I was thinking on a kingdom where the romance worked,
where she lifted up her veil before she hitched up her skirt
We had time, we had soul, we were lithe and we were whole
And I was thinking on a time before the bubble burst
sooner or later you fight the devil's work, but I don't care.

Now you're a winner or a victim or a doctor or nurse
A villian or a hero or a slave to the purse,
You're swimming in champagne or you're dying of thirst
Weren't we all in this together for better or worse?

Only time will tell just where we'll end up going around the bend
Or be saved for something better

So I was thinking of a time before the bubble burst
Sooner or later you know that babies come first
I don't care at all

Now you're a killer or a soldier or a sailor or maid,
A banker or a bin-man or a tailor or slave
A taxman or a gypsy or you're dead in a hearse
We're all in this together for better or worse

Only time will tell...

All sorts of music and life exists and passes through the megapolis that is
Mexico City and that's exactly what made it just the right place for
SIMPLIFIRES to incubate. ... more
