AT A TIME LIKE THIS Lyrics

[00:15.20] I keep my soul on high alert
[00:19.27] I keep it all on high alert
[00:22.42] At a time like this
[00:25.70] At a time like this
[00:27.35] Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list
[00:30.71] Spirits on the floor till they learn to coexist
[00:33.71] They’ll be missed
[00:36.31] At a time like this, I wish
[00:39.55] At a time like this

[00:40.90] Call it, call it, call it what you want
[00:44.43] Karma karma in the current when it’s calm ohh
[00:50.09] At a time like this, it’s strong (ohh)
[00:53.87] At a time like this

[00:56.10] The old timer told me not to bother
[00:59.65] He thought getting old would take way longer
[01:03.29] Scraping all the rust off of his armor
[01:06.25] Melting in my hands like salt in water
[01:10.09] Spoken like the father of a father
[01:13.85] I thought getting old would take way longer
[01:17.05] I thought getting old would make me stronger
[01:21.33] At a time like this

[01:22.42] Ooh
[01:22.96] M.I M.I.A MI MI MIA (mi mia)
[01:26.17] Put em on VHF, tell em send them my way (better send them my way)
[01:29.68] Gold on my body as it all went my way (yeah it all went my way)
[01:33.40] God stained my body, crashing my getaway (yeah yeah)
[01:36.93] I could hear the pain from the landline (yeah yeah)
[01:40.16] You were too young to be the bad guy
[01:43.64] You were just a child, life just happened to you
[01:47.20] Sleeping on the wheel when it backed into you
[01:51.92] At a time like this
[01:55.21] At a time like this

[01:56.32] Mixed in the glass with the spirits from the bottle
[01:59.78] I wanna leave a message for that person from tomorrow
[02:03.29] And when it’s all gone, no one wants to take requests
[02:06.50] What’s the point in trying at a time like…
[02:09.44] At a time like this
[02:15.00]

[02:23.77] Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list
[02:26.00] Spirits on the floor till they learn to exist
[02:30.32] They’ll be missed
[02:31.04] Why bother filling an abyss
[02:33.81] What’s the point in dying at a time like this
[02:37.09] Like this

[02:39.19] Call it, call it, call it what you want
[02:41.95] But there’s karma in the current when it’s calm
[02:45.65] Whatever gets me, gets me
[02:47.09] Don’t get me wrong
[02:49.12] Whatever gets me probably had me all along
[02:52.73] Call it, call it, call it what you want
[02:56.08] But there’s karma in the current when it’s calm
[02:59.48] Whatever gets me, gets me
[03:00.73] Don’t get me wrong
[03:02.80] Whatever gets me probably had me all along

[03:07.51] At a time like this
[03:11.02] At a time like this
[03:14.43] At a time like this
[03:17.47] At a time like this
[03:20.57] I keep my soul on high alert
[03:23.58] I keep it all on high alert
[03:27.45] I keep on watching till it hurts
[03:31.01] I keep on going till it works out
[03:34.49] I keep it all on high alert
[03:37.69] I keep on dancing till it hurts
[03:41.65] At a time like this
[03:44.88] At a time like this
[03:53.05] I was born in the wrong
[03:55.41] With a puzzle to solve
[03:57.13] Where the colors dissolve
[03:58.33] Ohhh
[04:00.61] Just keep holding your breath, yea
[04:02.34] When the tunnels collapse, ahh
[04:03.97] And the wish is intact
[04:04.95] Ohhh
[04:07.47] And the guilt comes in on 2
[04:08.99] And the guilt comes in
[04:10.87] When the walls cave in on you
[04:12.51] They become your skin
[04:15.75] At a time like this
[04:19.43] At a time like this

[04:27.55] They might as well, they went-
[04:30.82] There goes the wind
[04:31.19] Turn the engine!
[04:36.15] It’s a gorgeous island
[04:36.88]
