I hitched a ride with my soul 
By the side of the road 
Just as the sky turned black 
I took a walk with my fame 
Down memory lane 
I never did find my way back 
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away 
And what will it hold for me 
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you 
You're standing ignoring me 

I thought that I heard someone say now 
There's no time for running away now 
Hey now! Hey now! 

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain 
Feel no shame 

The first thing I saw 
As I walked through the door 
Was a sign on the wall that read 
It said you might never know 
That I want you to know 
What is written inside of your head 

And time as it stands 
Won't be held in my hands 
Or living inside of my skin 
And as it fell from the sky 
I asked myself why 
Can I never let anyone in ? 

I thought that I heard someone say now 
There's no time for running away now 
Hey now! Hey now! 

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain 
Feel no shame 

I hitched a ride with my soul 
By the side of the road 
Just as the sky turned black 
I took a walk with my fame 
Down memory lane 
I never did find my way back 

You know that I gotta say time's slipping away 
And what will it hold for me 
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you 
You're standing ignoring me 

I thought that I heard someone say now 
There's no time for running away now 
Hey now! Hey now! 

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain 
Feel no shame
