bennett built a time machine

bennett lamb's been holed up in his shack

working ever patiently

clocks are ticking

bennett's headed back to new york

1983

to meet himself as a younger man

show the teenage him a perfect plan

the stocks to buy girls not to date

he knows the way to reinvent his future

un-make mistakes

un-seal his fate

he's going back to change his choices

guided by his inner voices

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine

bennett lamb's been five days wide awake

he scrawled out every thought he had

complex calculations he did make

all single-spaced on legal pads

he won't return to watch babe ruth

to head off mao or john wilkes booth

to warn good people in the past

of earthquakes

locust plagues or insurrection

there's just one die he wants recast

he's going back to change his choices

guided by his inner voices

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine

he's going back to change his choices

guided by his inner voices

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine

visions that he'd seen

bennett built a time machine
