Half Time Lyrics

When you're running out of time

And you feel you're getting old soon

And all your pretty words are lies

And your three-word stories too

You're getting shot in bullet time

Shells rain down in slo-mo

You see it coming every time

But you still can't dodge the blow

Making reservations for love if there is such a thing

And then you see the teenage mute

The trooper in the skeleton suit

Reverse engineering a radio for speaking to god

A signal for what happens next

If you fail to reach critical mass

But you're clamped down, bare to the bench

With your workings out

And it's already half time

You're not impatient by design

It's just waiting doesn't suit you

And when you run ahead of time

you figure time will follow you

So you make your reservations for love if there is such a thing

And then you see the teenage mute

The trooper in the skeleton suit

Reverse engineering a radio for speaking to god

A signal for what happens next

If you fail to reach critical mass

But you're clamped down, bare to the bench

With your workings out

And it's already half time

Making reservations for love to put your mind at ease

Four a.m. scribbling lines that you won't ever read

To put your mind at ease

And then you see the teenage mute

The trooper in the skeleton suit

Reverse engineering a radio for speaking to god

A signal for what happens next

If you fail to reach critical mass

But you're clamped down, bare to the bench

With your workings out

And it's already half time

Half time

Already half time
