Compression Songtext
von Pylon Reenactment Society

A relentless line from here to there
Take your time, don′t be scared

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you're there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there

Two-lane blacktop, driving all night
From early twilight 'til the crack of daylight

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you're there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there

Was that a cop car or a bike rack?
I′m falling asleep with a map on my lap

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you're there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there


Finally, we're here, and I′m ready to swim
Water looks great, I'm diving in

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you're there

Driving past fields and fields and fields
Power pole lines follow the FM beats

Relentless line from here to there
Take your time, don't be scared

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there

Two-lane blacktop, driving all night
From early twilight 'til the crack of daylight

It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you′re there
It takes time to get somewhere
It takes time once you're there


Drifting on my red plastic raft
Looking back as I drift on past

Out in space, coast to coast
In the planetarium, I look up
It takes so long for us to see
It takes time for us to breathe
I don′t know what I am doing
Just shut up
