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'd lostIf time is really a river
And up streams where he needed to be
He set his sights on the past
Finished his glass and went back in historyTo the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machineLike 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 backBut tonight he's 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 herNow as far as these 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 butTo the casual eye it's a bar stool
But it's really much more than it seems
A few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machineJust a few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
