lyrics

Time sure is funny
sometimes I think it’s like a train line
I built a locomotive that could travel on it
weaving around a forest mountain side

I fancied myself a conductor
With a pocket watch on a chain
Getting everybody where they needed to go,
but never where they wanted to remain

Boy did I make an error
Man did I miscalculate
Time is just a string and now I knotted it up
and I don’t know how to untangle it

Time sure is funny and it’s playing a joke on me

Time sure is funny
Sometimes I think it’s like a slinky
A fun little play thing to amuse myself
A pretty coiled up metal spring

I walk it on down a staircase,
but when I try to get it to rewind
gravity wouldn’t let it go back up
And so I tried to make a new design

So boy did I make an error
Man did I miscalculate
Time is just a slinky and I knotted it up
and I don’t know how to untangle it

Because time sure is funny
Yea, time sure is funny
Yea time sure is funny, and it’s playing a joke on me

You know, time is a funny thing.
Sometimes I, sometimes I think it’s a little like a, like a train line,
a locomotive and big ‘ol plume of smoke going down a track in the desert,
Don’t care which way it’s going but it knows it needs to get there.

Well then again, other times I think to myself, you know
Time is a little bit like a slinky, a little coiled up springs that we would play with when we were little baby children, knee high
But then again, you know you walk it down a staircase and you can’t get it to go back up
And I’ll be damned if it ain’t nothing like a slinky at all
So then again

Time sure is funny
Sometimes I think it’s like an old oak tree
Branches reaching down just like an open palm
and coming down to try and smother me.

I weave and I duck and dodge ‘em
and just when I think that I’m home free,
all the while it’s been growing under the ground,
and all the roots come up and swallow me

Boy did I make an error
Man did I miscalculate
Time is just a tree I’m tangled all up in
and any day it will devour me, oh no

Because time sure is funny
Yea time sure is funny
Yea time sure is funny and it’s playing a joke on
Time sure is funny
Yea time sure is funny
Yea time sure is funny and it’s playing a joke on
Playing a joke on,
Yea it’s playing a joke on me.
