The Ballad Of Barry Allen



I've Got Time To Think About The Meaning Of The Thousand Variations Of The Beating Of A Wing Of A Hummingbird Suspended In The Aspic Of The World Moving Slower Than Molasses As I'm Off To Catch The Girl Who Is Falling Off The Cliff



And I'm There Before She Knows It

I'll Be Gone Before She Sees Me

With My Hand Around Her Waist

I Pull Her Back To Safety

By The Time She Knows What's Happened

There'll Be Someone Else Who Needs Me

Because Time Keeps Dragging On

And On

And On

And On



(time Keeps Dragging On)



I've Got Time To Think About My Past As I Dodge Between The Bullets How My Life Was So Exciting Before I Got This Way And How Long Ago It Was Now I Never Can Explain By The Clock That's On The Tower Or The One That's In My Brain



And I'm There Before You Know It

I'll Be Gone Before You See Me

And I'd Like To Get To Know You

But You're Talking Much Too Slowly

And I Know You'd Really Like Me

But I Never Stick Around

Because Time Keeps Dragging On

And On

And On

And On

And On



And You Say The World Goes Rushing By

But It Seems So Slow To Me

And You See A Blur Around You Fly

But It Takes Too Long

It Seems So Slow To Me



(time Keeps Dragging On)



How I Wish I'd Never Gone Into My Lab To Experiment That Night Before Lightning Flashed Around Me

And Time Changed Speed

Now I Have To Try To Be So Patient And Wait For Calamity To Strike

Because When Things Change In An Instant

It's Almost Fast Enough For Me



And I'll Be There Before You Know It

I'll Be Gone Before You See Me

And Do You Think You Can Imagine

Anything So Lonely

And I Know You'd Really Like Me

But I Never Stick Around

Because Time Keeps Dragging On

And On

And On

And On

And On



And You Say The World Goes Rushing By

But It Seems So Slow To Me

Complain I'm Gone Before You Bli
