I’ve got only thirty seconds till my memory resets again
I’m riding in a train as it’s slowing to a stop and then
I see my father standing in his raincoat in the station
And I’m yelling through the window and he’s holding his umbrella
And a part of me can tell that its another part of me that’s playing
Tricks inside my head, playing tricks inside my head
And I’ve got only thirty seconds I’ve got only thirty seconds
I’ve got only thirty seconds till my memory resets again
I’m standing in a modern mansion up against the ocean cliffs
And somebody calls me by another name and when I turn
I see that movie star in faded jeans asking what i think
And a part of me can tell that its another part of me that’s playing
Tricks inside my head, playing tricks inside my head
And I’ve got only thirty seconds I’ve got only thirty seconds
I’ve got only thirty seconds
And I’m rolling over
My head on the other side of the pillow
Sinking deep again
I’ve got only thirty seconds till my memory resets again
I’m about to go on stage and there’s a crowd uneasy in the house
And the stage hand says I’m on and then I realize I don’t know how to
Play the saxophone that’s hanging from a strap around my neck
And I’ve got only thirty seconds, I’ve got only thirty seconds
And I step to the front of the stage
And fly
And a part of me can tell that its another part of me that’s playing
Tricks inside my head, playing tricks inside my head
And I’ve got only thirty seconds I’ve got only thirty seconds
I’ve got only thirty seconds I’ve got only thirty seconds
To fly
To fly
To fly
