[Verse 1]
I was born in '67
The year of "Sgt. Pepper"
And "Are You Experienced"
Into a suburb of heaven
Yeah, it should have been forever
It all seemed to make so much sense

[Chorus]
But after a while
You realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
She said, "Luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now, let's dance a while"
She said, "Nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh, then smile"

[Chorus]
But after a while
You realise time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
[Post-Chorus]
And laughing in the summer showers
That's still the way I see you now

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
How does time break down?
With no marker, things slow down
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged

[Verse 3]
I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
But I'm not sure where to start
You see, there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar?

[Chorus]
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
[Post-Chorus]
And the coat you wore to Alton Towers
Is still the way I see you now

[Instrumental Outro]
