Playing for Time (Dark-Side Mix) Lyrics

[Part I]
[Verse 1]
Far, far away, out amongst the stars
There’s a planet spinning slowly, we call it ours
Any time, any day
Any moment that we bring to life will never fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, all the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
And play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb through all the mists of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through

[Chorus]
Down, I’m getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love, inside
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time

[Verse 2]
Thеre goes the sun, back from whеre it came
The young move to the center, the mom and dad, the frame
Any space, any time
Any moment that we bring to life, ridiculous, sublime

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, all the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
And play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb through all these mists of time
It’s all in here, what we’ve been through

[Chorus]
Down, getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love, inside
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
The future shines a sunny day
Unpacked memories stored away
All the while, the clock keeps ticking
You and I still playing for time

[Part II]
[Verse 3]
One by one the voices silenced for they know that time will tell
It’s time that wears the crown and time that rings the bell
All cards on the table, all hands are down
Everybody’s playing for time
Everyone’s still playing for time

[Verse 4]
Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock
Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock
No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock
They’re all too busy playing for time
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
