INERTIA
written by John Gies
performed by The Gypsy Sons
If time does not react,
If time does not deflect,
If time doesn’t shear,
Then time has no moments.
If one does not react,
If one does not prevail,
If one doesn’t fail,
Then one’s had no moments.
I came across a soul,
She was dressed up like a little girl,
And crying to herself on the side of the road.
I took her chin in my hand...
And I raised her eyes to mine,
And I told her that beauty takes time.
She looked on to me… with a
Sense of irony, and said, “Mister,…
Ain’t you heard the news?
You see its true, its true that beauty takes time but,
Time… it sure takes beauty… beauty away.
It takes beauty away.
Time, time, time takes beauty away.
Can’t stop, I can’t go, I can’t…
Can’t stop, I can’t go, I can’t…
Can’t stop, I can’t go, I can’t…
Stop!
Inertia, set me free.
