Time Machine - Don Johnson Big Band

The lights of Helsinki, familiar and dormant

A horizontal haze shrinking in the storm

And all displays of affection frowned upon as vain

No other people on this planet quite as proud of all its pain

It's raining sideways, water's flooding the highways

Another winter of discontent discontinued

More dark inspired days to leave behind these walls

No re-design will solve what's predestined in you

But this is where we are and this is where we could belong

As chance would have it, we can inhabit

And reform it all just slightly

A slow progression, no one pushed back

As the invisible hand has now become just that

Inhuman kind, the vilest being

Drowns into a blinding blue

And silent green

Let me step into a time machine

Let me step into a time machine

(2x)

Now see the lights of Shibuya

Flickering quicker in the dark of night

And the delight's a destroyer

Every city has its own ten commandments

Its modes of transit and souls in abandon

I deploy a defense to resist it all

Whether pinned to the ground or up against a wall

The concrete, chrome, and I become one

I find it a comfort, provided I'm done

With the hide and the hunt

And the ride and the lump in my throat

Dying for a bump in the road

More tires that smoke, my desire has sunken my boat

Crying for wires and rope

From suppliers of hope, I can't get an answer

Maybe I should raise a hand to try demand some

Replace retreat with forward advancement

It pays to be distorted, the rewards are handsome

Could have pictured being richer than Richard Branson

Better mention, if we switch, I'm in the kitchen dancing

The picture getting clearer, no need for enhancement

People look like ants, and I am high enough transcend

The walls, the traffic, the minutes, and the laughing

The noise, the caffeine, the cynics, and the massive

Void between ourselves and how we want to be seen

Shibuya give me comfort, let me constantly dream

Inhuman kind, the vilest being

Drowns into a blinding blue

And silent green

Let me step into a time machine

Let me step into a time machine

(2x)
