[Verse]
Things seem so hectified now
I ain't gots me no peace
I'm, well, entirely pent up now
Can't gets me no release
Started jotting stupid things down
I could repeat later on
When I feel the timing's just right
I hope no one here's heard this song...this song
Cause we've retired all that came before
[Verse]
Well I talked about the future
Lord knows we've talked about the past
When I know the time is just right
Good God, I only hope it lasts
I got some friends who feel improtant
Seems they've swayed some who really are
It's just a trick of natural lighting
Make your mind see very far ... so far
Cause we've retired all that came before
[Interlude]
It's man's way to think
No one could handle what he's been through
What was a- l-right for me
Would not work for you
[Verse]
Can you believe in anything now
Now everything's beliveable
Thought I might bring up the future
If that's at all conceivable
Cause I'm a slave to all that's insight
Hovering round the truth a while
Like some messenger of alright
Who wears upon his face a smile...I'm smiling
Cause we've retired all that came before
