Lyrics
Center of Time
Desire takes me there
To where my soul stands bare
Backbone to have and to hold
Stripes of old, Screams seem to haunt me
Mirror aimed back at my face
Says, "Gaze into me, gaze into me..."
Shadows whirl outside
Wind rocks Dorothy's house
Backbone to have and to hold
Stripes of old, Screams seem to haunt me
Mirror aimed back at my face
Says, "Gaze into me and see all inside you..."
At the Center of Time, Center of Time
Stretching before me...
Center of Time, Center of Time
Eye of the Storm.
Shadows whirl outside
Wind rocks Dorothy's house
Into the twisting funnel cloud
Like a moth to a flame
I'm drawn in again, into the fire
I'm still caught in this dream
Still numb from the chill of the
Cold Truth at the...
Center of Time, Center of Time
Stretching before me...
Center of Time, Center of Time
Eye of the Storm.
The time is now, there's no inbetween
You've got to go on, the road's before you
People you've never seen will lift you up
Or get out of your way
You'll fight for your life and find home...
Backbone to have and to hold
Stripes of old, Screams seem to haunt me
At the Center of Time, Center of Time
Stretching before me, before me, yeah!
Center of Time, Center of Time
Eye of the Storm.
