The Time Machine - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

He circled and stared, nervous and scared

He knew both the thrill and the cost

But he didn't think twice, this amazing device

Was his last chance to see what he lost

Now if time is really a river

And upstream's where he needed to be

He set his sights on the past, finished his glass

And went back in history

To the casual eye its a barstool

But it's really much more than it seems

Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again

As he sits on the time machine

Like all pioneers, he swallowed his fears

And watched the whole room fade to black

He's dying to go but he's no fool, he knows

How hard it will be to come back

But tonight he is tired of the lonely

And tomorrow will not be the cure

So he'll just slip away, find yesterday

And spend one more night with her

Now as far as the customers can tell

He's just one more fool who talks to himself

But every man in this place would line up

If they knew what that seat really was

To the casual eye its a barstool

But it's really much more than it seems

Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again

As he sits on the time machine

Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again

As he sits on the time machine
