Hold up your hands, you've got nothing to shield you This one took all that you had It's hard to say who's been wrestled Or willingly gave it all, gave it away And now we're left stumbling along We are looking for something or someone to pay And always assailants evade Never can turn searchlights their way But take small solace in this In everyone a summons awaits And for some of them briefly and some incompletely But all of them all of them all And for some of them briefly and some incompletely But all of them all of them all Believe me, time unwinds it Believe me, time unwinds it Solo charade, barely backlit by TV Hanging on tight by a thread Sailing along on a sea of prescripted solutions for what's ailing them Just like a black snake so low in the leaves only shows what it wants to be seen Just like a black snake so low in the leaves only shows what it wants to be seen Believe me, time unwinds it Believe me, time unwinds it
