The profile of the Queen in the travertine tile
In the bathroom of a luxury hotel lobby
Is the image that she saw before she took a fall
cnd landed on the campus of an all girl institution
CHROUS: cnd in case of fire, plague, or flood
We have our plan in place
Stop! Drop! Start rolling in the aisles
We'll build ourselves an ark to sail to space

I followed a thread and found out that I was dead though
I never got official confirmation
But the comments were so kind that it nearly slipped my mind
I had joined the happy corpses where there's never any signal
CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Stranger, getting stranger every day
Who's that in the mirror with a temple full of grey
Dear God, you're the one with all the clout
So tell the lucky couple what the truth is all about
Time is running out. Time is running out.
Time is running out

Where do I begin? With everything we've been through
I've settled on bittersweet diversion
Scrolling for a thrill but we never get my fill
Let's walk out in the orchard and start this garden over
CHORUS

Time is running out. Time is running out. Time is running out!
