[Verse 1]
Look
Oh, look at what you've done now to me
Dead tired and ornery
I'm leaving today, today
Thinking of the way I used to spend the time
I can see that I have overpaid
Past has passed and rather than regret the old
I can live it back the other way

[Verse 2]
So look
Oh, look at when you've done now to me
Free floating temporally
I'm leaving today, today
I avoid the messiness of misery
Playing in dimension number four
I can get away to any time I like
Space-time's any time and many more

[Chorus]
Ooh, live the dream with a time machine
You've been waiting forever
But you can make ever wait for you
Do what you wanted to
Ooh, live the dream with a time machine
You've been waiting forever
You'll have time enough to spend some time alone
[Verse 3]
Wait
I await for all eternity
Withstanding modernity
Is where we must stay today
Now I know thy nature of no urgency
Now I know why now is never gone
Fleeting in this mode of making memories
Keeping up this pace of keeping on

[Chorus]
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
You can make ever wait for you
Do what you wanted to
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
You'll have time enough to spend some time alone
Time alone
Time alone
I'm alone

[Bridge]
"You must be mad! A time machine!"
"Yes, my friend. A time machine"
"This... thing?"
"This very thing. Now on this machine, a man can go wherever he likes in time; by working these levers a man can choose his century, his year, his very day"
"The Time Machine!"
"A dream, but a pleasant one"
[Outro]
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
You've been waiting forever
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
