I know there's a man who can sell time I can take it away and say that it's mine You smile from a distance and live in a dream Holding out a welcome hand just for you and me Money is chocolate, wrapped in a silver cloud Everybody would, but no one is allowed There's no tomorrow, only today When it rains, it rains lemonade So come with me, I need a man whose job it is It's selling all this time Before he spreads his wings, there's taxes flying round the sky People are shadows, trapped in a golden well And only children's eyes can break this spell They live in a land where the clocks go on trees And words sound just like a cool summer breeze I know that this man who does sell time Is someone who's lying deep in my mind It's so sad to think that there is such a man And when you're alone, you can join me in his hand Come with me, I need a man whose job it is It's selling all this time Before he spreads his wings, there's taxes flying round the sky Thanks for watching!
