No Time
Dorians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down by the river
Townfolks fish and they stare at me
Down by the river
See my life's flowing
And as I stand on the water's edge
I take a dive into the river's depth
And I will waste no more time
I'll close my eyes and get out alive
No I will waste no more time
I'll close my eyes and get out alive
Yet in the forest, smoke rings rolling in my head
In the forest trees are burning all night long
And if I'd take a look at them
They'd set me on fire instead
And I will waste no more time
I'll swim to shore and get out alive
No I will waste no more time
I'll close my eyes and get out alive
And I will waste no more time
I'll swim to shore and get out alive
No I will waste no more time
I'll close my eyes and get out alive
And I will waste no time
No, I will waste no time




No, I will waste no time
No, I will waste no time
