Lyrics
The future’s in the anteroom
She’s fond of playing hard to get
If anybody knows her mind
I haven’t come across them yet
I’ve got lots of plans
I’d like to put in motion presently
Some are lying at my feet
And some are looming over me
I’m tangled in time
Everything I’m hoping to find
Lies on a road choked with weeds and undone deeds
I’m not one to take up too much space
I’m not cheering with the crowd or running in the race
I’m not sticking out my neck or risking life and limb
I’m waylaid in the interim
Fate is like an inventory of
Every turn we ever took
Just think of all the angels busy
Scribbling in ledger books
I’ve been trying to clarify
This matter for a while now
Though it beggar your belief
I’m working quick as time and tide allow
I’m in one hell of a bind
Everything I’m hoping to find
Lies on a road lined with regrets and TV sets
I’m not one to give in to despair
I’m not cutting up my clothes or pulling out my hair
But kicking all I can and trying my best to swim
Feels like drowning in the interim
