All The Time - Bahamas

Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn? t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars Parent? s garage listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three mile island nightmares On TVs that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement The kids are still screaming On and on and on and on War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags And we? re blowing in the wind We don? t know where to land So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings We? ve been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town They offer a welcome when you are leaving War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it? s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time" War all the time, war all the time All of the time War all the time, war all the time All of the time, all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time

Those that try anything once Should we care about the only ones? All the time that I need is never quite enough All the time that I have is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high No one talks, about the war On my blood, or by the shore All alone in a room Do you want what I want too? All the time in the world Is all that's necessary You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're living a lie Baby you're flying too high You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high Don't get on the phone Don't reach for the door You know the answer that you're looking for You're livin' a lie You're livin' a lie You're living too fast You gotta pray for the best You never ask why You never ask why You're livin' a lie Baby you're flying too high

All the time, every time I need it What's the time? I'd say the time is right Here's to me, let's find another reason Down the hatch, and a bad attitude, salud Wasting time, wasting time down a bum fuck road And I don't know where the hell it'll go Heirlooms, huffing fumes, and I'm picking up the pace And I'm gonna smash straight into a wall All the time, New Year's resolutions How soon that we forget Doing time, and loving every minute Live it up on another let down, salud Promises, promises, it was all set in stone Cross my heart, and I hope to die Sugar fix, dirty tricks, and a trick question Guess I should've read between the lines Having the time of my life Watching the clock tick Having the time of my life Watching the clock tick All the time, where did all the time go? It's too late to say goodnight Time flies when you're having fun, yeah Time's up when you work like a dog, salud Yeah

So you caught a glimpse of someone you once knew, And it seem to find it hard to face the truth, Oh, but that don't make it right, To be wantin' me tonight, When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time. Well we both knew that there'd be things we'd have to face, But is it true that I can never take his place, Oh but I can't read your mind, For the things you hope to find When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time. Now Heaven knows I tried just everything I knew, But it seems there ain't no getting through to you, Guess I've played out every line, Still you can't make up your mind, 'Cos your thoughts on love are changing all the time. 'Guess I've played out every line, Still you can't make up your mind, When your thoughts on love keep changing all the time.

Can't complain I made a living with my brain I made something new For all of you From some old refrain Take what's already been done Find some new way to get the song sung Can't complain, I made a living with my brain Please understand I made my living with my hands Through the work and the toil Through the blood and the soil There's no master plan Build it up to tear it back down Just a ruin to one day be found Please understand, I made my living with my hands Tryna do more With all that I'm given Tryna do more Than just make a livin' Forget your rules I'ma use my own tools Forget your union man And your pension plan And your private schools Forget just tryna survive I'm only doing that which makes me feel alive Can't complain I made a living with my brain

Is it really that much sweeter On the other end of that receiver? There's no need to convert a believer I'm already yours I'm already yours Well I ain't that special someone You should spend a night with a fun one Someone who mates to become one I'm already yours I'm already yours Well I always said don't mind me But your love always seems to find me It's always creeping up behind me I was never yours I was never yours

Laugh about the shape I'm in Laugh about the shape I'm in Don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Fool me with the sleight of hand Fool me with the sleight of hand It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good It done did me no good To see it all coming I turn it over but the engine ain't runnin' And if you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me no good Hit me with the stone cold facts Hit me with the stone cold facts It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Hate it but I don't know why Hate it but I don't know why It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Done did me no good To see it all coming Late start but I hit the ground runnin' And if you think I'm out here just frontin' Well then you know you got another thing comin' If you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me, doubt done did me Doubt done did me no good
