The Times Are A Staying Songtext / Lyric

Everybody wants to be

The one who gets to be

The one who says they finally set you straight

But I set you first

And I set you worst

And you said

You were just

On your way out



Well everybody bow your head

Cause everyone else is dead

And that usually sends the mood south

And naysayers all run

Your work here has been done

And I see they finally got their hands on you






Well everybody's sayin'

These times are a stayin'

Exactly where they've been

Nobody's walkin'

Everybody's comin' in

I don't know where I'm going

I think that it's time to begin



Some dreams lie in bed

And some dreams lie ahead

And some dreams just lie to get their way

The best parts just got worse

The real parts got rehearsed

And you said you were just on your way out



And some men just have plans

And some men just have hands

And some men just have a way with words

They smile through their gold teeth

But they can't?

And I see they finally got their hands on you



Well everybody's sayin'

These times are a stayin'

Exactly where they've been

Nobody's walkin'

Everybody's comin' in

I don't know where I'm going

I think that it's time to begin



Everybody's sayin' it's time to come in

But I've been here before?

Don't wanna get a late start

And I make this up

And I fill my own cup

And I lost my eyes

And I can't see much

Found myself stumblin' in the dark

And it comes to me

Almost every night

And it kisses my lips

And it tastes just right

And I ask it to stay

But it just goes

Away



Well everybody's sayin'

These times are a stayin'

Exactly where they've been

Nobody's walkin'

Everybody's comin' in

I don't know where I'm going

I think that it's time to begin



The love from your lovers

Your dreams just may?

Well everybody talkin'

Cause everybody knows

Everybody's singin'

That's the way it goes

Yeah I think

Yeah I know

Yeah It's time

It's time to come in
