Ballad Of Barry Allen

Intro: verse 1: I've got time to think about the beauty of a thousand variations Of the beating of a wing Of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of a world Moving slower than molasses As i'm off to catch the girl Who is falling off the bridge And I'm there before she knows it I'll be gone before she sees me Got my hand around her waist As I pull her back to safety By the time she knows what happens There will be someone else who needs me Because time keeps dragging on And on, And on, And on Time keeps dragging on verse 2: 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 Bridge: And you say the time 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 verse 3: I should have 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 Bridge: (x2) And you say the time goes rushing by But it seems so slow to me And you complain I'm gone before you blink your eye But it takes too long It seems so slow And you say the time goes rushing by But it seems so slow to me And I want to be there when you laugh or cry But it takes too long It seems so slow to me Time keeps dragging on
