Man in the sea.
Mother to be
here for Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
No fall from grace.
His life erased.
Now the Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
Starting behind.
The daily grind.
Not for Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
Wait all the time.
The sun to rise
just for Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
Just wait and then
he'll rule again!
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
Hail! Hail! Mar—
Upon the throne,
no care for home;
he's the Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
Pleasures abound
under the crown
for the Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
She to give heir,
instead a pair.
Abdicate, 'quis.
Sail, sail, Marquis.
The common life.
Children and wife.
Still the Marquis.
Hail! Hail! Marquis!
But for his back
he makes a track.
Fail! Fail! Marquis!
Fail! Fail! Mar—

Hands of Time
05:54

And we sang of the song
of our yesterday.
And in singing along,
how it fades away.
It's a song for a song
in a song today,
with the words and remembrance
in each other's way.
No page can be rewritten,
no picture be redrawn,
without the change of whether
the hands of time belong.
- - -
As we break from the song
and we lose the day,
we forget what was wrong,
if we ever say.
Now the song for a song
in a song betrays
what the words and remembrance
never can convey.
No page can be rewritten,
no picture be redrawn,
without the change of whether
the hands of time belong.

Let me take you for a ride.
Grab the keys and get inside.
Rev it up until the engine's screamin'.
Seems like these words have a double meanin'.

And when your Chevy Nova just doesn't go...
we still talkin' 'bout cars? (Man, I don't know!)
