The Time Machine

[Verse 1]
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 lost

[Verse 2]
Now if time is really a river
And upstream's where he needed to be
He set his sights on the past, finished his glass
And went back in history

[Chorus]
To the casual eye its a barstool
But it's really much more than it seems
Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine

[Verse 3]
Like 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 back

[Verse 4]
But tonight he is 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 her

[Bridge]
Now as far as the 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

[Chorus]
To the casual eye its a barstool
But it's really much more than it seems
Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine

[Refrain]
Just a few drinks and then she'll be with him again
As he sits on the time machine
