[Verse 1]

The last time you were sleeping

Did you find yourself to wake -

With your heartbeat steady beating

In the middle of the bed?

Did you dream of something awful

Or maybe something nice

But you got this funny feeling

That has made you thinking twice?

What if all the fears you had before

Where true because the line

Between what's real and what is not

Gets thinner all the time?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Sshhhh

As the last corn of the hour glass

Drops on the pile of sand

The hands of all the clocks around

Slow down until they stand

At 1 past 12 it is too late

The signs have been misread

And still they tell you everyday:

"It's all just in your head!"

[Chorus 1]

You gotta move on - for the things to come

Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone

You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -

The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours

You never left your home except at noon of course -

When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow

That change is not just coming, change is here and now

[Bridge 1]

Can you hear the change coming?

It's me knocking right at your front door!

Open up or I'll run it down - the doors are cracking

Ha, I'm in can't believe how long it took, how long it's been!

You don't remember me - that's cause I'm like a shark -

I've been watching from the shadows, waiting in the dark

[Verse 2]

So close - I was just like a friend

Don't you remember me?

All the times you feared that someone's

In your closet - that was me!

I'm sure you heard me in your room

The noises made you mad!

As I was scratching on the walls -

Hidden under your bed

I was the voice that called to you

On all those foggy nights -

When you saw my shadow running from

The cones of all the lights

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Sshhhh

So many times you felt me there

But didn't comprehend -

That I did try to warn you

That this time has seen its end

A new era has begun

A new order is in place

And now you have to stand

With all your demons face to face

[Chorus 2]

You gotta move on - for the things to come

Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone

You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -

The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours

You never left your home except at noon of course -

When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow

That change is not just coming, change is here and now

[Bridge 2]

I'm in your house right now

You can watch it shaking while I start to plough -

Up and down the stairs, here and there

Laying everything to dust as I wreak havoc everywhere!

I'm stirring up your life, it stands askew as Pisa

When I'm done with you what you call hell feels like a freezer

I'm the beginning and the end, pristine like organic cotton

Next time we meet again I'm sure you've already forgotten me

[Chorus 3]

You gotta move on - for the things to come

Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone

You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -

The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours

You never left your home except at noon of course -

When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow

That change is not just coming, change is here and now
