Album: Sitting Targets
This is no time to hesitate
The line slips into overload;
The mixture too thick
The touch too close to the motherlode
Time — there’s so little time
To do anything that’s not useless…
You tried for a little while
To hide your face from the future
Now you thought it was released
You find that it’s captured
It sticks to your hand, you can’t let it go What you knew as pain has turned into rapture
But nothing goes away, it just changes…
You know it’s the right tempo, the right place
But something’s gone wrong with the cardiograph
Oh, your day shadow and your night face
You thought it was forever — but it doesn’t last
This is no time to hesitate
It’s no time to look for another road;
The shiver begins
The touch too cold on the motherlode
This is no time for hesitation
Hesitation, hesitation, hesitation
Time, there’s so little time
To do away with the tension;
I try for a little while
To put it all in suspension
Well I thought I was released
I find that I’m captured
The groove sticks, it won’t let me go The glass stain is now seen as fractured
And try as I may I can’t change
But I know it’s the wrong tempo, wrong place
And something’s gone wrong with the autograph
Oh, the day shadow and the night face
Conspire into prophecy…
This is no time for hesitation
Oh, this is no time for hesitation
Oh, this is no time for hesitation
Oh, this is no time for hesitation, oh no Yeah, this is no time for hesitation
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no…
