Ted Leo & The Pharmacists The King Of Time Lyrics

As I was flowing on St. Ide's,
my tongue got tied up ooh-seven times,
and every signified took on seventy signs,
like everyone has ooh-several lives.

And all the wonderful words you speak!
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh!
And the dangerous company uh-you keep --
where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support!

So "when I get to troubles with language,"
well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly.
And I'm on a mission to recognize
this context we create in linear time.

And all the wonderful words you use!
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-woah.
And the desperate company uh-you choose --
where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so!

Like, is what you say what you say, aside
from the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes?
And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives?
And would I then be the King of Time?
As I was flowing on St. Ide's, my tongue got tied up ooh-seven times,
and every signified took on seventy signs,
like everyone has ooh-several lives.

And all the wonderful words you use!
And the world comes into shape around them, oh-oh!
And the dangerous company uh-you choose --
where everyone's holding on to one and other's stories for support!

So "when I get to troubles with language,"
well you see why it's hard to make the words "so heavy" fly.
And I'm on a mission to recognize
this context we create in linear time.

And all the wonderful words you speak!
And the world comes into shape around them oh-woah.
And the desperate company uh-you keep --
where everyone's holding onto one and other's stories for support, so!

Like, is what you say what you say, aside
from the story that I write that brings you into focus in my eyes?
And when you liberate words, do you liberate lives?
And would I then be the King of Time?
