[Verse 1]
You're sick of winning games
Been out on the road too long
Carve yourself out of illusion
You take the long way round
A setting sun

[Verse 2]
You don't know what you're doing
On the wrong side of town
Wastrels look at you sideways
As if to say, "What happened?"
The rich man looks at you sideways
To say, "What happened to you, boy?
You on Cataract Time?"

[Verse 3]
You're tired of pretending
You're tired—
Of playing pretend
This time, it's real
It's real, you're on Cataract Time

[Verse 4]
Every day we give up time
We pour the drink into a vast glass
We act fast, we think we know
Enough to go on, on Cataract Timе
[Verse 5]
I wear see-through too much
And take strolls downtown
Thinking it's a garden of shamе
You take the night train and live
To see another day, another day
Another day, another day
Another day

[Instrumental Outro]
