Stephen Duffy Tempus Fugit Lyrics

River, river, know my name
You're always on time
Rain, rain, all the same rain
Know my name
River, river, know my name
You're always on time
Rain, rain, it's the same rain
Know my name
Call the operator now!
Call the operator now!
As I hold a tiny, tiny piece of forever

That is holding me
And it's half past three in eternity Tempus fugit
Clever, clever, silly game
There's no punch line
Train, train, stay the same train
Know my name
Call the operator now!
Call the operator now!
This much we know
The rules are changing
We get it right sometime
For all we know believing in
The right things may be true
