how to build a time machine
If I have understood correctly Velocity equals the distance traveled Divided by time I've read every word ever printed On quantum physics And now it is time to try I read your book, I found your notes I dusted this thing off and turned on The key The rumbling motors The buzzing incredible gadgets The hissing electricity And now the moment has come I'm traveling back in time  They're running down the hall I've started the countdown They want me to stop But I don't think so I'm ready to go Let's get the job done  Beyond the paradoxical All the lights are dazzling Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation Pass the time I spent today Through the nearest wormhole In a stunning ball Of white The light explodes and lands on you  And you're five Always running away And I was dying to kiss you And I I don't want to cry I don't want to see Where the moving van takes you So I travel on Beyond the stars At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second I can fly Forward a few years To nineteen hundred and seventy nine I caught a glimpse of the sky  They're coming down the road They're coming to get me I never should have come I hide the time machine I'm running down the hall I think I'm in my old house  Pass the place where I grew up Number nine Lake Road Pass the swimming pool And Mable park And past Troy Clifford's house To the Argonaut ? To the fish and chip shop Out the back and down the road To the place I got beat up  Hey, put that rock down Can't you see he's half your size? Hey, he looks familiar Oh my god, he's me, age nine  Put your shoes on And run away from here I can't get involved This is all so weird I'm meeting myself This is all so clear  All the things I've lost All the people I've hurt All the times I lied All the moments wasted All I never did All the dreams I had All the things I would change I can change them  All the things I've lost All the people I've hurt All the times I lied All the moments wasted  I'm gonna make right What I did wrong And change how the future has come Through appliance of science I'll take a hold of my enemies Take their obscenities Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone I'll call my dad I'll tell him I miss him And tell my reflection: 'it's not your fault' And now the moment has come I'm traveling back in time  They're running down the hall I've started the countdown They want me to stop But I don't think so I'm ready to go Let's get the job done  Put your shoes on and Run away from here I can't get involved This is all so weird (It's me aged nine) Let's get the job done  All the things I've lost All the people I've hurt All the times I lied All the moments wasted All I never did All the dreams I had All the things I would change I can change them  Beyond the paradoxical All the lights are dazzling Pass the planes, and trains, and satellite navigation Pass the time I spent today Through the nearest wormhole In a stunning ball Of white The light explodes into another moment
