The past is the past
Is the past is a bastard
Keeps asking for favors
And turning up half cut
At family parties
With the same old excuses
Breaking all the furniture
And changing the music

Can't wrench nothing out of yesterday
It's gone
How do you settle that score?
Got you like a soldier in peace time
Desperate for war
'Cause what was real then
Isn't real anymore

Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning, or let it all smash
Keep winning, or give it all back
Keep running, or let it go flat
Let it go though you won't get it back

Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning, or let it all smash
Keep winning, or give it all back
Keep running, or let it go flat
Let it go though you won't get it back

We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace, we'll get back up
We've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

Time is hardcore

Yeah, oh

Forwards the whole day
Backwards the whole night
Wake up with yesterday's shadow
And hold tight to nothing
Slow flat to nowhere
.
But there's nowhere
It's all made of glass
And still, prove the skrill
Get it embossed on a gold plated will
Spin it until it reveals
The reason you don't feel to feel

Held up by decisions you make
Missing this link but it isn't too late
Somewhere it's morning, call it, it's fate
I'm the genuine article in a world of superior fakes
How very internet of you
To write on a meter, wish I could a thousand
I want this
Lean in, kiss
Fill basin, face and lips
Exist, exist
Or if not that, then this
Look, I was in a gold world
Beaming the light
With a tenth of the strength I was feeling
While swimming lengths in my veins
I believed in love
The way of all flesh, I decreed it love
The way of all flesh, I decreed it love
The way of all flesh, I decreed it

Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning, or let it all smash
Keep winning, or give it all back
Keep running, or let it go flat
Let it go though you won't get it back

Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
Keep grinning, or let it all smash
Keep winning, or give it all back
Keep running, or let it go flat
Let it go though you won't get it back

We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
We've come a long, long, long, long way
From the start
And even if we fall from grace, we'll get back up
We've come a long, long way
We've come a long, long way

Uh
Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

How very internet of you

    The past is the past
    Is the past is a bastard
    Keeps asking for favors
    And turning up half cut
    At family parties
    With the same old excuses
    Breaking all the furniture
    And changing the music

    Can't wrench nothing out of yesterday
    It's gone
    How do you settle that score?
    Got you like a soldier in peace time
    Desperate for war
    'Cause what was real then
    Isn't real anymore

    Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
    Keep grinning, or let it all smash
    Keep winning, or give it all back
    Keep running, or let it go flat
    Let it go though you won't get it back

    Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
    Keep grinning, or let it all smash
    Keep winning, or give it all back
    Keep running, or let it go flat
    Let it go though you won't get it back

    We've come a long, long, long, long way
    From the start
    We've come a long, long, long, long way
    From the start

    Yeah, oh

    Forwards the whole day
    Backwards the whole night
    Wake up with yesterday's shadow
    And hold tight to nothing
    Slow flat to nowhere
    Ready to Jump
    But there's nowhere
    It's all made of glass and steel
    Prove its real
    Get it embossed on the gold-plated wheel
    Spin it until it reveals
    The reason you don't feel to feel

    Held up by decisions you make
    Its a mistake but it isnt too late
    Somewhere it's morning, call it, its bait
    I'm the genuine article in a world of superior fakes
    How very internet of you
    The right-on-o-meter is striking a thousand
    I want bliss
    Lean in, kiss
    Fill bass in face and lips
    Exist, exist
    Or if not that, then this
    Look, I was in a gold robe beaming the light was intense
    and the strength i was feeling
    Was swimming lengths in my veins
    I believed in love
    The way of all flesh had decreed it love
    The way of all flesh had decreed it love
    The way of all flesh had decreed it

    Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
    Keep grinning, or let it all smash
    Keep winning, or give it all back
    Keep running, or let it go flat
    Let it go though you won't get it back

    Keep spinning, or stop in your tracks
    Keep grinning, or let it all smash
    Keep winning, or give it all back
    Keep running, or let it go flat
    Let it go though you won't get it back

    We've come a long, long, long, long way
    From the start
    We've come a long, long, long, long way
    From the start
    And even if we fall from grace, we'll get back up
    We've come a long, long way
    We've come a long, long way

    Uh
    Yeah, oh
    Yeah, oh
