In the woods near my house
Lives a man who's about
To create something new
Something grand, something blue
Made of scraps from the yard
Bits of glass and old cars
It's a sight you should see
As it stands to the trees
And I watch with my kids
In the late afternoon
Try to guess what it is
Try to follow his moves
There's a spring and a latch
And a lever and a hatch
Will it fly? Will it fly?
Will it fly?
Ooh, wa-ooh
He's gonna build a time machine
Ooh, wa-ooh
He said it's time to intervene
Ooh, wa-ooh
He's gonna save you and me
In a month and a day
On a cool autumn day
Take a look through the blinds
And I'm shocked when I find
That the craft is now gone
Just a spot on the lawn
Where the trees are now charred
And they're losing their bark
So, I flip on the news
And as soon as I do
There's a caption of you
Up of banners and blue
There's now peace in all states
No more wars, no more hate
No more crimes, no more waste
No more waste
Ooh, wa-ooh
He's gonna build a time machine
Ooh, wa-ooh
He said it's time to intervene
Ooh, wa-ooh
He's gonna save you and me
So, I step outside
After several calls
There's no need to work
There's no need for laws
We're completely free
We can travel for years
We're completely free
But we're bored to tears
To tears
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He's gonna build a time machine
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He said it's time to intervene
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He's gonna save
You and me, yeah
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He's gonna build a time machine
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He said it's time to intervene
Ooh, wa-ooh, woah
He'll never save
You and me, yeah
You and me
You and me
You and
Me
