Lyrics

I’m just a man that’s failed at life
My outlook is grim, seemingly dim
Could you spare some compassion for a man that’s got holes in his shoes?
If you build your time machine
build one seat for you, and one seat for me
We’ll put my dog in the back and take a lovely quantum pleasure cruise!

We could go back and fix all our mistakes
Build ourselves mansions with the money we’d make
Don’t be a fool sir, just think of the things we could see

I could handle myself in an orderly fashion
Get back to business and renew my passions
Back to time before I was rejected and
Back to the places where I was respected
This is my one chance to reclaim my life
And never start drinking and not lose my mind
My one big chance to reclaim who I am
And hit 1980 and go see The Damned
Please sir I beg you to end my disgrace
Build the damn machine and get us out of this place!
No one will shame us we’ll be rich and famous
Just think of the things we can do

Time machine, for you and me
I’m gonna build a time machine
For you and me
And when we get to where we’ll be
I’ll throw away the key
