[Verse 1]
I'm all over my heart's desire
I feel cold but I'm back in the fire
Out of control but I'm tied up tight
Come in, come out tonight
I'm coming up in the early morning
I feel love in the shock of the lightning

[Chorus 1]
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany

Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight
[Chorus 1]
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
It's all in my mind
Love is a litany
A magical mystery
And all in good time, and all in good time
And all in good time
[Chorus 2]
It's all in my mind
Love is a time machine
Up on the silver screen
And all in good time, and all in good time
And all in good time
