The orbital motions of the planets define
The uniform measure, the ephemeris time
And I try to make time with the Gods at Godspeed
Cause time waits for no man, indeed
It's about time

It's about time

Time being a universal spell
Time healing, time leading to the proper moment
Promising good times when times are hard
Like the good old days

Trails of blood on slices of trees
The wounded bird signs the time on sheets
Indicating meters for beats
Written as a fraction of a complex equation
A complex situation

It's about time

The orbital motions of the planets define
The uniform measure, the ephemeris time
And I try to make time with the Gods at Godspeed
Cause time waits for no man, indeed

It's about time
