Time Travel

Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me,
Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me.

In disguise as a young man 
In the city,
But the bright young life
No longer belongs to me,
I'm a visitor 
From a distant generation,
Doing some travelling...

Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me,
Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me.

Seeing faces that I knew 
In youth's brief Heaven,
When I was young, 
And in love with this old town,
But please don't ask me
Where those fleeting years 
Have flown to, just gone travelling...

Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me,
Time travel, baby, set me free,
Time travel's got a hook on me.
