Turning Time Around Songtext
von Eyelids

Lori says, "What do you call love?"
Lou says, "I call it Harry."
Oh, please, I′m being serious
What do you call love?

Well, I don't call it family, I don′t call it lust
And as we all know, marriage isn't a must
And I suppose in the end, it's a matter of trust
If I had to, I′d call love time

Again she says, "What do you call love?
Can′t you be more specific?
What do you call love?
Is it more than the heart's hieroglyphic?"

For me, time has no meaning, no future, no past
When you′re in love, you don't have to ask
There′s never enough time to hold love in your grasp
Turning time around


Oh yes, turning time around
That is what love is
Turning time, turning time around
Yes, that is what love is

My time is your time when you're in love
And time is what you never have enough of
You can′t see it or hold it
It's exactly like love

Turning time around
Turning time around
Turning time around, oh
Turning, turning

In this widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
The blurting tide is loosed and everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned
The best lack all conviction
While the worst are full of passionate intensity, intensity
Surely some revelation is at hand


Surely the second coming is at hand
The second coming is at hand
Are the others worked out?
When the last image out of Spiritus Mundi troubles my sight

Somewhere in the sands of the desert, a shape
With a lion's body and the head of a man
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun

Is moving its slow thighs
While all about it reel shadows of the indignant desert birds
The darkness drops again
But now I know, now I know, now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep were vexed
And nightmared by a rocking cradle
And one orange beast
Its hour come ′round at last
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born

Turning time
Turning time
Turning time around

Turning time around
Turning time around

You, you can turn time around
You can turn time
You can turn time
You can turn time
You can turn time around
You can turn, turn time around
You can turn, turn time around
Turning time around
