Song Lyrics

You walked into the room
And assumed the whole world spins for you
Like all of the stars in your yard
I'm just singin' for a getaway car
All the headline news just gives me the blues
And so do you
I came here out of love
But it ain't enough
You're going on and on and on

You say times they've changed
Everything's so messed up and strange
You say times they've changed
I said yes I know but some beautiful things remain

Some come down to the show tonight
Stand in the back I'll make you feel alright
Come on be strong the 70's are dead and gone

You say times they've changed
Everything's so messed up and strange
You say times they've changed
What do you do in this day and age
You say times they've changed
I said yes I know but some beautiful things remain

Like tripping over love in June
Singing just to make it through
I know when I've had enough of you
You're wasting all my time my precious time

I'll be running at the speed of light
While you work out who's wrong and right
I came here out of love but it ain't enough
So I'll go on and on and on

You say times they've changed
Everything's so messed up and strange
You say times they've changed
What do you do in this day and age
You say times they've changed
Everything's so messed up and strange
You say times they've changed
I said yes I know but some beautiful things remain
I said yes I know but some beautiful things remain
